Lemon & Orange Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend48 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 28th, 2020
The tea in the bags is in small enough pieces that it's difficult to tell if it started out orthodox or CTC, but I think it's orthodox. It smells pleasently lemon-orange, but no tea shines through yet. After adding the water, the tea smells like fresh orange pulp. The tea itself is muted with the barest hint of malt ri...

Plantation Peach Loose Tea from Charleston Tea Plantation (American Classic Tea)
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: United States of America72 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 27th, 2020
This is the first time I've ever had a tea from the U.S., and it's the first time I've ever had a fruit-flavored black tea. (I typically either go for fruity herbal teas or black teas without flavoring.)
My first impression was actually with the tin. It's a very nice tin. I was expecting something like this when ord...
Earl Grey Loose Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 13th, 2020
This is the first time I'm trying Bigelow Earl Grey in loose form. I've purchased the teabags in the past, but from other experiences, I know that the loose tea and teabags don't always have the same taste.
My first impression was that, compared to other black earl grey teas I've gotten in tins, this variety has muc...

A perfectly acceptable Earl Grey.

Mango from Fredsted
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 15th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home. Pours nearly clear copper brown with no sediment. Clear but not very inspiring aroma of mango and black tea. Bitter flavour of black tea leaves, with mild sweetish, fruity notes of mango. Bitter and slightly astringent palate with the aftertaste of black tea and mild acidic hints, becoming more ...

Jan. 11th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home. Pours nearly clear darkish brown with no sediment. Clear aroma of cinnamon, cloves and black tea, with hints of orange peel. Complex but smooth flavour of black tea, with notes of almonds and touches of vanilla and cinnamon and hints of cloves and orange peel. Smooth palate with almond hints and...

Earl Grey Imperial from Mariage Freres
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 9th, 2020
I enjoyed this tea. This tea has a nice light yellowish amber color. Mild in taste with a nice hint of bergamot. Does not linger on the tongue. Milk, cream, or sugar would probably over power this tea.

Irish Cream from Fredsted

Jan. 6th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home. Pours clear copper brown with no sediment. Clear aroma of caramel, with touches of cream and black tea. Sweetish flavour of caramel, with creamy and chocolatey notes and bitter black tea touches. Mild, slightly creamy palate, with notes of vanilla. Well, this is not a bad tea, just a run-of-the-...

Jan. 3rd, 2020
Half-litre pot at home. Pours clear copper brown with no sediment. Clear aroma of coconut, with notes of roast and black tea leaves and mild hints of caramel. Sweetish flavour of coconut (fortunately, not aggressive, like it can be in some cheap brands I have tried before), with bitter nuances of black tea and touches ...

New England Holiday Chai with Vanilla from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 1st, 2020
A special holiday season release from Upton. Now here is a new concept - a "New England Chai." This has a mellow black tea base and is spruced up with vanilla and other spices - I could make out some cardomom and what I thought was allspice but appears to be clove. It is pleasantly spicy and has a nice aroma, but Up...

Dec. 31st, 2019
Half-litre pot at home. Pours clear light fudge brown with no sediment. Clear aroma of Darjeeling tea, with notes of bergamot oil and mild touches of caramel. Mild, bitterish Darjeeling flavour, with its natural sweetness, enriched with dryish notes of bergamot. Clean black tea palate. This is one of the best Earl Grey...

Holiday Tea from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2019
Let me start by saying that I generally don't like flavored teas at all. Most of them taste artificial to me, the rest don't taste like tea and because I love the taste of tea, I'm left dissatisfied by them. But, as you can see, I gave this 80/100, so I was quite pleased with it. I was surprised not simply because of m...

Organic Earl Grey (Loose) from Harney and Sons
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 23rd, 2019
This smells and tastes like some halfway point between Bigelow Earl Grey and Twinings Earl Grey. With Bigelow, the bergamot note is strong and pointed and the tea has a more earthy taste. With Twinings, the bergamot note is more gentle and the tea has a more woody taste. With Harney & Sons Earl Grey, the bergamot note ...

Sweet Ginger Peach from Revolution Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend58 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 14th, 2019
This blend has some potential, but is far from my favorite flavored black tea. The first and biggest turnoff was the dry-bag aroma, which reminded me of cheap incense—specifically, the sort employed to smoke-bomb a room fast, in order to mask pot usage. This is the second tea that has given off that cheap-incense v...

Tea Book Volume II (Gold) from Basilur
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon64 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 5th, 2019
Basilur is creative in the packaging and marketing of their teas. This is part of an impressively elaborate gimmick: the second in a multi-volume series of well-decorated "books"—each a metal tin about the size and shape of a small hardback book—containing a plastic bag full of loose tea that gets folded and some...

Constant Comment® Loose Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 17th, 2019
I think that this is the first time I will have said (or written) this, but I actually prefer the teabag form of this tea. The balance of flavors is off in this. I've tried four different ways of brewing it, changing both the times and the amount of tea, but nothing felt quite right.
Using 2 1/2 tsp for 2 min using...
Earl Grey Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 12th, 2019
Now this was an unexpected treat! Rarely (if ever) have I had the loose and bagged version of a tea from the same company, at the same time, from the same order. Not only that, they're rather different (how?), but both delicious. I specifically had ordered the EG loose mainly for my wife, and the EG bags came in a v...

Constant Comment® from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 11th, 2019
This is only the second tea by Bigelow that I've tried (and both, I've tried in the last two days). I've been, overall, impressed by Bigelow. I admit that after being quite disappointed by other American brands, I gravitated towards those from the UK. I assumed that they'd be better able to formulate a good cup of tea,...

Constant Comment Decaffeinated from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 11th, 2019
Caveat: Constant Comment is one of my very favorite teas, so even a noticeable dropoff from that still garners a favorable rating from me.
The Good: As bagged decaf teas go, this is one of the most tolerable, and dare I say pleasant. Most of the wonderfully clove/orange/cinnamon aroma and flavor of original Const...
Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 10th, 2019
This is tea from a tea bag, so right from the start, we're not dealing with the best quality. But, this sort of tea isn't for having a gourmet experience. If it were, they wouldn't sell it for a few dollars at the local supermarket. It's a daily tea. On that level, it does fine.
The flavor profile is different from ...
Earl Grey Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 10th, 2019
Twining's US uses a less-health-hazardous method for extracting caffeine from tea. I commend them for that, in principle. In practice, this is a terrible way of extracting caffeine because it takes all of the flavor along with it. There is a better way of doing it that is both less health-hazardous and maintains flavor...

Earl Grey from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 10th, 2019
We gleefully had sniffed demo leaves of Murchie's Earl Grey in their Victoria store before, but since had brought home and ordered only the tea bags of the cream version (Earl Grey Cream). My wife is a bigtime EG drinker—probably half her total tea consumption—and wanted some loose-leaf tea as part of our annual f...
