A slightly sweeter version of Earl Grey with a bit more orange flavoring. It's my wife's favorite.

Eastern Shore Blueberry-Lemon Tea Bags from Eastern Shore Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 31st, 2014
A sealed tea bag, served at a Unitarian Church in North Philly. This is the first tea I've tried from Eastern Shore tea, and, for a humble tea bag of flavored tea, I was impressed.
The base tea is strong and has a distinct character of its own, and the fruit flavoring is very subtle. I don't notice much blueberry,...
Lemon & Lime Twist from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 28th, 2014
With the first brewing I could detect a lime scent, but it was fairly subdued. The citrus flavors are even more muted when drinking. They did seem to smooth out the black tea for me, but not enough. I would have appreciated a brighter tasting cup.
There's a hint of bitterness at the end, though it wasn't intense. Th...
Strawberry Sensation Black Tea from Ahmad Tea

Not my tea, unfortunately--too strong with the black tea flavor for me. The little bit of strawberry flavor made the bitterness a little more palatable, so I certainly enjoyed this more than I would a simple black tea. The aroma was better, with the same two elements but with the fruit coming through a bit more strongl...

Peach & Passion Fruit from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 11th, 2014
Smells like peaches and cream oatmeal!! mmm! Best smelling tea ever! Unfortunately all that richness and flavor in the smell turns into a slightly bitter black tea that actually has only mild fruit flavor. The black tea itself is bold though.

Apple Refresh from Ahmad Tea

Jul. 6th, 2014
very good smell and taste....the strength is just about right too...steeped 4 minutes but didn't boil as directed. Perhaps a bit longer steep next time. The amount of flavoring seems spot on....not overpoweringly artificial or an underpowered hint.

Passion Fruit Na Pali Tropical Black Tea from Hawaiian Islands Tea Company
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 30th, 2014
The perfect soothing tea for relaxation and a good alternative to classic chamomile tea. The scent instantly calms my most anxious moments. In terms of flavor, the herbal lavender mellows out the tang of the lemongrass. You need to use an extremely fine, industrial-grade strainer since the tiny lemongrass slivers tend ...

Maia Lemoniou from Handmade Tea
Style: Lemon Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 24th, 2014
This was my first month of Handmade Tea. I could barely smell and taste the lemon, but I still like this tea. I added a little sugar and I liked the result. I thought this tea had a lovely mild flavor. I’m going to try this as a cold brew later. I may add a little extra lemon and see how that goes.
Four Red Fruits from Kusmi Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 6th, 2014
Smells nice! But there's not much in the flavor department.
I hope this isn't going to be the trend with Kusmi teas. I'm glad I bought the smaller sampler sizes and I hope I'm going to find at least a few that are winners for me!
Black Mango from The Tao of Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 5th, 2014
This flavored tea has a nice aroma, but I'm missing the mango when I taste it.
The tea was brewed for 5 minutes. It really just tastes like a plain black tea. It's not bad, but if I wanted a plain black tea, that's what I would have purchased.
Edit (050814): I am drinking this again, but with a little suga...

I'm bummed about this one. I'm glad I bought a small sample size to try. The un brewed and brewed aromas are excellent, but the flavor is lacking.
This was brewed as directed. I used boiling water in the French press for 3 min. That seemed too short for a black tea, so I sampled and it was weak. Let it go to 4.5 mi...
Pom Tango from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 29th, 2014
Good aroma, good flavor. This was brewed for 5 minutes and served hot without milk or sugar. It tastes more strongly of mango than pomegranate.
I liked it, but it didn't wow me. This would probably be great as an iced tea and I'll update if I try it that way.
Lady Grey from Twinings

This is one of the more memorable teas I've tried. Strong (but not overwhelming) flavour, very pleasant aroma. I found a tiny touch of milk was nice with it.

Lady Grey from Twinings

Lady Grey is my favorite breakfast tea! It has a soft, floral and citrus fragrance and tastes lighter and smoother than Earl Grey. Add cream and sugar and this tea becomes a delicate and refreshing alternative to coffee or English Breakfast tea.

Of all four of Ahmad's fruit-flavored black teas, this is the one I liked the least. It has a fairly artificial apple flavoring...it does not smell at all like an actual apple, but rather, like the "green apple" candy flavor, familiar to me from my childhood.
I don't know if Ahmad uses a different base tea for thei...
Mango Ceylon from Republic of Tea

I like the convenience of RoT's round brown tea bags - and Mango Ceylon is a fruity, good-tasting choice - but I much prefer the ginger peach. Makes a good iced tea.

Meh. Again, I was underwhelmed by this tea from Twinings. Like their Earl Grey tea, I certainly appreciated the use of citrus to balance out the black tea. However, I found the overall effect unimpressive. I really need to try a high quality Earl Grey or Lady Grey tea to give these styles a fair shot. I'm glad I have a...

Lemon & Lime Twist from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 21st, 2014
I think this is by far the best lemon tea I've had in a bag! I really can't wait to get more.
Because it's atypical of me to like any type of flavored tea, especially lemon, I feel that my liking this tea *a lot* is substantial.
I brewed it on the light side for 3 minutes, and was elated with the results: a f...
Strawberry Sensation Black Tea from Ahmad Tea

Aroma is, well, very strawberry-ey. Smells initially like strawberry and little else, a little like strawberry jam or strawberry shortcake...not so much like fresh strawberries.
The base tea is not as evident, aroma-wise, but it shines through in the flavor: bold, with a bit of bite. Brews a rich brown color, but ...

Feb. 15th, 2014
An interesting change of pace; not my favorite.
Much more lime than lemon in the aroma; this is no standard lemon black tea. The base tea is bold, strong, and malty. The overall effect is a very edgy cup, completely unlike how adding lemon usually takes the edge off a strong black tea.
Nice, and interesting, bu...

It's a select group of fruit-flavored teas that I like, and it's even less frequent that there's an inexpensive one in a tea bag that is among my favorites--but this is one of these teas.
Aroma is fruity but pungent and deep; the fruitiness is not transient or fleeting, but rather is persistent, and accompanied by d...
Pomegranate Black Tea from Bigelow Tea

Feb. 12th, 2014
Thank you to my friend Liz for sharing this one with me. Take my review in the context that I tend not to like fruit-flavored tea bags, so although my rating number is not great, this is actually a pretty positive review: I'm comparing it against all my favorite loose-leaf artisan teas.
Tea bag smells intensely fru...
Mango Maui Black Tea from Hawaiian Islands Tea Company
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5

Smells great - a strong fruity Mango/Tropical scent but doesn't taste nearly as good as it sounds/smells. In fact - if yuou sweeten it it is cloying and "fakey-mango".
I got this for free from my mother-in-law who visited Hawaii. I don;t think I'd go out of my way to seek this brand out, nor purchase it.
Too bad...
