Golden Bi Luo from Chicago Tea Garden
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 26th, 2010
Huh, a black tea made in the style of a green. How 'bout that? The leaves have been hand-rolled in a heated wok so they seem to be like Bi Luo Chun - Green Snail Spring. This lovely gold dust [from the golden bud hairs] covered tea comes from Yunnan Province, China and tastes much like a usual Yunnan, woodsy, a tad...

Naturally Decaffeinated Tea from Red Rose Tea

I've only had this once and I was surprised it was as good as it was. I usually just drink an herbal if I want a tea in the pm, but I may actually buy some.

I'm not a great fan of grocery store tea and PG Tips is my go to for bags, but I gotta say that this is just fine, especially at a friend's house. It just says "warm, comfy, at home"

Keemun (Qimen) Black Tea Grade II from Life in Teacup
Style: Keemun – Region: Anhui, China73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 23rd, 2010
In spite of this not being the top grade, it is a wonderful tea, a bit - very tiny bit - smokey, but winey and deep, with some roasted overtones. Very satisfying.

Oct. 21st, 2010
Dear...God. Probably one of the best black teas I've ever had the pleasure to stick my tongue in. It embodies everything a Darjeeling should.

English Breakfast from Stash Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 20th, 2010
The flavors are mild and disappear wuickly if you like to add anything to your tea (I like honey). The finish is a bit acidic, but not overly so. It's fairly decent for bagged tea.

Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 20th, 2010
This is a rather dull tea both in the nose and on the palate. Definitely not something to get excited about. Having said that, it's not a terrible tea either. Iced or hot, it can be enjoyed.

English Breakfast from Wedgwood
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 14th, 2010
This is a CTC tea and it is insanely strong. I brewed for a little less than a minute, using less than a teaspoon of leaf, and it was still a bit strong for me. This tea is fairly aromatic; I'm not sure exactly the proportions that go in but I can definitely taste some Ceylon and what seems like possibly an Assam or ...

Lapsang Souchong - Smoky Tarry from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
I always get excited when I see brands carry Lapsang Souchong, mostly because I can't imagine their consumer base for it is very large.
Numi's always tends to be pretty satisfying if not a bit thin and their Smoky Tarry blend is no exception. They really play up the smokey-ness in the aroma but then you take a sip ...
Irish Breakfast Black Tea from Boston Tea Company
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 6th, 2010
This is my favorite tea so far from the Boston Tea Company. Although Irish Breakfast isn't my favorite style of black tea, this is without a doubt my favorite Irish breakfast tea yet, and I find this particular blend to stand out among any kind of strong black tea.
The aroma is complex, powerful, and surprisingly f...
Yorkshire Gold from Yorkshire Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 4th, 2010
This is a very straightforward English tea. Not a lot of nuances, but no nonsense either. It is assuredly malty and strong, just how I like my black teas. Ideal for mornings, when you don't want to think about what to make, just do it. Ideal for the cream and sugar crowd, in fact, I think it is best with a bit of cr...

Prince of Wales from Twinings
Style: Black Tea – Region: China53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 30th, 2010
Phooey. This used to my standard for judging Prince of Wales, which is one of my many favorites. However, in the last year or so, the quality has tanked. This makes me very unhappy, as I now have to search out a new standard. Maybe it's just the difficult years tea producers have had recently. I hope so. Otherwis...

Makaibari Estate Darjeeling 1st Flush Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 26th, 2010
I never cease to be amazed by what comes out of Makaibari estate.
The dry brownish leaves with a few greener leaves mixed in turn noticeably greener upon brewing--most of them become the color of a green tea, with a few olive-colored ones mixed in. The cup is a deep golden hue, no darker than some green teas.

PG Tips Pyramid bags from PG Tips

Sep. 18th, 2010
People just adore PG Tips, and I know when I was living in England it was most of my British friends go-to brand. I, however, have found it to be a little difficult to brew- you've got to time the steeping perfectly or it ends up a bit bitter and dry tasting. I have better luck with Tetley's and Barry's which seemingly...

Afternoon Blend Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Black Tea – Region: India67 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 16th, 2010
This is a pleasantly malty tea, mild without being too weak and strong without being too astringent. This is one of the few teas that can be served black or with cream and sugar without drastically weakening its flavor. This tea goes well with pastries or a light lunch.

English Breakfast from Boston Tea Company
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 7th, 2010
This is a classic English Breakfast tea. Medium strength, full-bodied, good black tea aroma with some complexity. There's some earthiness and a pleasant hint of floral black tea tones. Moderately bitter and fairly astringent.
I tried brewing this with different brewing lengths and found no advantage to a longer s...
Golden Monkey from Adagio Teas
Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 5th, 2010
This is one of my overall favorite teas. Beautiful color, although it does usually tend to get a little frothy around the edges as its brewing for some reason (have not seen this happen with any other teas.) Its a milder black tea that's great any time of day. Its a little on the expensive side but worth it in my op...

Typhoo Tea from Typhoo
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 16th, 2010
This tea is much better than a Lipton or a PG Tips teabag. The brew is strong but still retains the flavor of the tea. It will get bitter if left for too long, but it is not that hard to brew. If someone is looking for a strong iced tea, this is your best bet. I have made countless gallons of iced tea with Typhoo and h...

Aug. 16th, 2010
For someone who does not enjoy first flush darjeeling teas, this was very impressive! On the company description it tells about a punchy astringency, but I did not find it in the brew, which is one of the attributes I loved! For a Darjeeling fan, I think it offers something new. For a person just delving into the world...

Darjeeling Choice Teabags from Peet's Coffee and Tea (Peets)
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 16th, 2010
I tried this in a Peet's in the Philadelphia airport. I let it brew 2 minutes. Peet's said they normally include two teabags but I only used one and saved the other for later--and I'm glad because this tea would have been far too strong.
This is unusually strong for a Darjeeling, but this could just be due to a ge...
Black Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 16th, 2010
Many people who drink orthodox tea scorn at bagged tea (tea dust, as it is called in my family).
I do drink vast quantities of loose leaf, quality tea, but I don't despise Lipton's classic blend. I do not drink it hot though, I think that it tastes better iced and that is the manner which I drink it most. Would I ever...
Breakfast Tea Loose Leaf (Bengal Breakfast) from Teatulia
Style: Black Tea – Region: Bangladesh73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 15th, 2010
This tea immediately got my attention on the first sip. In my opinion, it is uniformly better than Teatulia's black tea in every way--there are few ways in which I would prefer that tea to this one. The only thing I found missing from this tea were some of the fruity tones in the aroma, but they were light and not pa...

Black Tea Loose Leaf from Teatulia

Jul. 16th, 2010
This is the first tea I've ever tried from Bangladesh, and I truly didn't know what to expect. I used about 1 teaspoon per cup and brewed for about 2 minutes. The result was a fairly dark cup of black tea which was fairly balanced and moderate in strength.
The aroma is rich and spicy, but I find it hard to describ...
Golden Monkey Superior Organic from Teas Etc

Jul. 12th, 2010
The dry leaves of this tea are very beautiful, and have a fuzzy,soft look to them and are yellow golden color. This color changes to a reddish brown hue after being steeped. The liquor is smooth and has a medium mouth feel, right in between thin and thick. This tea’s liquor was quite spicy, reminiscent of black peppe...
