Organic Assam Tea (TGFOP) from Green Hill Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 19th, 2024
A very good black tea that exceeded my expectations especially for its price. However, this tea is not for every moment: it is bold and sharp tasting and strongly caffeinated.
This was one of several teas I have bought recently, throwing into Amazon orders to get over the free shipping thresholds.
The dry leaf, w...
Black Loose Leaf Vietnam's Mountain Tea from ViXi
Style: Black Tea – Region: Vietnam86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 18th, 2024
This is a very good tea! It is not as aromatically interesting as some other black teas however it does have a very pleasant classic black tea smell that is slightly bready. It tastes very good and is not too astringent or bitter or anything, it is just a nice and comforting thick bodied tea. The value is very good bec...

Wow, what a find!
I discovered this tea when looking for loose-leaf black teas to throw into an Amazon order to get over their free shipping threshold, and I was pleasantly surprised. I love wild arbor tea from Yunnan province, which I often buy from Yunnan Sourcing, and I've had it from Mengku, Jingmai, and Da Hu S...
Colonial Bohea from Oliver Pluff & Company
Style: Bohea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 15th, 2024
The aroma is strong and smokey, it reminds me of a Lap sang souchon. The liquor (5 min steep) is more red than brown. The flavor is mild, with the smokey after taste that stays on the tongue. Pleasant, and aromatic. A good choice for any time of day.

The aroma is appealing, with a hint of fruit (peaches or apple). The liquor is a medium brown with a slight red. The flavor is wonderful, with a slight sweet after taste. This tea would be a great all day sip. I have just started exploring Darjeeling, very happy with this purchase.

The package list this tea as a blend of Assam and Kenyan black teas. The aroma has the strong earthy scent that is pleasant. The liquor is a strong, deep brown with a slight red tint (5 min steep). The taste has a tangy after taste, I associate with the Kenyan tea. Strong, great for a morning wake up. Certainly, strong...

Organic Assam Black Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 24th, 2024
Trader Joe's teas seem to fall into two bins:
1. Very good, which at their typically low prices for bagged tea, makes it quite a strong value, even if not nearly the best of its type, and
2. Mediocre to poor, as one expects from most store brands.
Fortunately their organic Assam offering lies squarely in the fir...
Thurbo Estate Second Flush FTGFOP1 Darjeeling from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India45 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 18th, 2024
This is a very mild, bland tea. Lemon and sugar overwhelms it, but it is decent on its own or with a splash of milk - then it is pleasant and bready, with some mild tannins coming in to the mouthfeel. Priced too high given the quality, imo.

Original (Black Tea) from Red Rose Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend59 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 27th, 2024
Seldom have I sampled a tea with such a gap between aroma (or lack thereof) and taste. It's a vast chasm, really. The Grand Canyon might be a good analog with another several million years of erosion, widening and deepening.
This was a motel pickup somewhere out on the Great Plains. I don't recall where. I had a...
Darjeeling Black Tea from Rituals
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 23rd, 2024
Here's another new Rituals tea for me (and this website), also first sampled at the Days Inn in Hays, KS. As usual, and even though Hays water isn't bad, I also hauled a bag home to try on my well water for fair comparison with other ratings.
Upon ripping open the foil-lined package, the smell that greeted my nos...
Darjeeling (Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India88 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 5th, 2024
This tea is really good! It has a nice bready aroma and a delicate but full bodied flavor with chocolatey hints. The only reason I'm not giving it an even higher score is that it is a bit basic, however I still love basic teas when they are really high quality and good like this one. This tea is not too astringent or b...

May. 31st, 2024
I really enjoy this tea a lot! The aroma is very pleasant, it kind of smells like pumpkin seeds. The taste is the best part, it is very smooth and thick bodied and not too astringent or bitter at all! It tastes like raisins and pumpkin seeds to me. It is a very comforting cup of tea. It is still being sold today and it...

Nilgiri Korakundah Estate - Organic FOP/FBOP from Simpson & Vail
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nilgiri, India95 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 30th, 2024
I absolutely love this tea! It's full bodied and aromatic. The aroma is bready (like most black teas smell to me) but also a bit fruity like raisins, and also Indian, like cardamon or something. The tea is perfect because I'm sensitive to astringency and it isn't too astringent, but it has just enough astringency to be...

Organic Irish Breakfast Tea from Equal Exchange
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: India61 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 28th, 2024
My review here is decidedly mixed. Since this isn't a bad tea, folks who are interested in the fair-trade/organic aspects may find this a good alternative to the relative dearth of such certifications among Irish Breakfast bagged teas. Being less refined, more of a troglodyte, I just want tea to taste good regardless...

May. 23rd, 2024
This is pretty robust for a Ceylon tea, with some tannin bite and a woody aroma. It was quite a bit better with milk than with lemon and sugar, which surprised me. With just a little vegan milk added, it makes a very good breakfast style tea. My intention in buying this was to mix it with a Darjeeling for iced tea (...

May. 21st, 2024
I decided to try something different. Instead of getting Upton's iced tea blend (which I like a lot) that is made from Ceylons and Darjeelings, why not get some Ceylons and Darjeelings and mix them together? This way I can also get to know the individual teas. This one did not let me down. It is on the mild side, b...

The aroma is very pleasant, a nice black tea with a hint of fruit (peaches). The liquor (5 min steep) is a medium brown with a bit of red. The flavor is excellent, a good strong taste, with a slight tangy after taste I would say perfect start for your morning. This tea would easily accommodate sugar or cream.

Nice mild Assam aroma, with a hint of spicy. The liquor (5 min steep) is brown/red. The flavor is a bit tart, with a smoky after taste. This tea would be fine with some cream or sugar. Overall an enjoyable tea.
