Chocolate Peppermint from Tea Horse
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 9th, 2013
A subdued blend that I found very pleasing.
The cup has a light aroma which strongly reminds me of the inside of the old Wilbur chocolate factory in Lititz PA, with the smell of chocolate and peppermint. The peppermint has a slightly creamy quality to it.
Upon sipping, the flavor is pleasant...there's a slight m...
Chocolate Peppermint from Tea Horse
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
I'm impressed with this tea. It has a rich flavor. I can really taste the chocolate, and it has a strong black tea that I really like, and it really supports the flavor well. It's a nice blend of flavors. I added cream and sugar.

Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
I was unimpressed with this variation on the classic Earl Grey. Of course, this blend lacks the bergamot which makes Earl Grey so distinctive, I think in an attempt to soften the flavor. Unfortunately, for me it softens the flavor too much.
To me this tea tastes weak and thin. While the overall blend of citrus is...
Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
I appreciate Bigelow's attempt at making a nice, strong Earl Grey. Unfortunately, something about the flavor does not agree with my palate. I find it to be very easily overbrewed, and often finicky. Nearly every cup I have tried has an unpleasant, bitter aftertaste.
I'll probably continue to try this one, in ho...
Ginger Peach from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
This is my favorite loose-leaf tea. Right out of the package, the scent is wonderful, a sign of good things to come.
I have not found a peach blend that so perfectly balances the peach flavor with that of the black tea. It's a nice, strong brew, with a definite peachy tinge. The scent is equally pleasant, smellin...
Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
This was the first Earl Grey I ever had, and so I cannot help but compare every Earl Grey since with this one. Probably a bad habit, as this is not an exemplary blend.
The overall flavor is pleasant, mild, and unobtrusive. The scent leaves something to be desired, as does the strength. As Earl Greys go, this one ...
Premium Black Tea - Pure Mint from Twinings
Style: Black Tea with Mint – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
This is my go-to Twinings tea. Why? I enjoy the strong, minty scent, and in the winter it is most comforting.
That said, the actual flavor leaves something to be desired. It does taste mostly of mint, with only the barest hint of black tea underneath. Now, the minty taste is the reason I like it, but I fully und...
Constant Comment Decaffeinated from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 6th, 2013
As this was the first tea I ever tasted, it is only fitting that it should be my first review.
The orange comes through strongly in the aroma, though less so in taste. The flavor is more mild, the tea muted under various spices and a hint of orange. It is not a very strong tea, but it is a reliable and pleasant br...
Chocolate Chai from Octavia Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 24th, 2013
Served in Velvet Sky, Jenkintown.
This blend smells very chocolatey, but upon sipping it the dominant aroma is cinnamon. I wasn't crazy about the Spiced Chai Mate from Octavia for the same reason: too much cinnamon, and I feel the same way about this blend: it would otherwise be very good, but has too much cinnamon...
Decaf Vanilla Nut Creme Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 23rd, 2013
Not a fave - the sweet vanilla and almost-coffee like nutty notes just don;t seem like "real tea" to me. This one you have to drink hot - it's not a good flavor for iced - not refreshing but it is comforting in a sweet-artificial-vallinin sort of a way. Tea trying to be a coffee? Doesn't work for me.

French Breakfast from Octavia Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 3rd, 2013
Served at Velvet Sky Bakery in Jenkintown.
This is called French Breakfast but it conjures up more of a Russian image to me, especially the combination of rose with other flavorings, against the background of a strong black tea.
I was expecting this to be stronger than some of Octavia's other teas, which tend to ...
Passionfruit from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 3rd, 2013
Now I am thoroughly confused, as I thought this was a Shanti tea - but was informed that the Shanti Pasionfruit Black has been d/c'ed. Meanwhile...
I usually don't care for passionfruit - but I had a Delicious Iced Passionfruit Black tea - and man, was it good. Granted, it was the middle or summer - so this was a ...
Passionfruit Black from Shanti Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: India70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 3rd, 2013
I usually don't care for passionfruit - but I had a Shanti Iced Passionfruit Black tea - and man, was it good. Granted, it was the middle or summer - so this was a fruity, refreshing sip.
I don't think this tea is discontinued - as I just had it.
Spiced Pear from Davidsons Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 14th, 2013
I sampled this tea courtesy of the Church of the Holy City in Wilmington, Delaware.
It was interesting, and very different from anything else of the sort. Just a basic paper tea bag, but it was fresh, full-bodied, flavorful, and aromatic.
The clove is enough to impart a richness, but not enough to give that shar...
Cardamon Tea (Cardamom Tea, Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2013
This tea is fantastic, absolutely fantastic! I might be more than a little partial since Cardamon is possibly my favorite spice to add to tea with sharp competition with Star Anise.
The aroma is a very pleasing blend of the spice and smooth base tea, neither overpower the other.
The same can be said about the ta...
Grand Earl Grey from Octavia Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 12th, 2013
Served in Velvet Sky Bakery in Jenkintown.
This was a very strong, robust Earl Grey that had an intense, classic Earl Grey aroma, combining a powerful, malty base tea with a bold bergamot presence.
Octavia Tea informs me that the base tea used is a Yunnan tea...it definitely seems to have the strength and charact...
English Afternoon from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 6th, 2013
This tea wasn't terribly outstanding, but I did think it was really good. I'm still impressed with how reasonably priced Ahmad teas are, considering their quality!
The flavor was strong and bitter, the dried leaf smelled lightly of bergamot. It only became bitter as it sat.
I'd be interested in trying this out ...
Earl Grey Creme from Spice and Tea Exchange
Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 2nd, 2013
This tea is very interesting because although it's called "Earl Grey Creme", it has much more of a floral taste. The blue cornflowers definitely have a big impact on the flavor of the tea. I can only assume that the name comes from aroma of the tea which smells very sweet and creamy. Although the tea was delicious, I f...

Vanilla Almond from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I have had both the bags and the loose leaf of this delightful tea, I prefer the loose but the bags are wonderful as well. The aroma is a great blend of vanilla and almond that does not overpower the tea smell. The flavor comes in layers, first the almond, then the vanilla, and lastly the smooth black tea. Rich without...

Blueberry from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
I am extremely picky when it comes to blueberry flavored tea, I want it to taste like ripe, sweet, blueberries and not tart unpleasant fruit. So many teas make the tart mistake but not this one! The aroma when opening the package is blueberries all the way, an added plus when you actually see blueberries in the leaves....

Cream from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2013
This is such a decadent tea! Delicious and bold the aroma is that of rich, sweet cream and the taste matches. A great dessert tea and an even better breakfast tea (if you want something sweet first thing).
I would not recommend this tea if you are not a fan of sweets!
Vanilla Creme Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 29th, 2013
This was a strange combination of vanilla, bitter black tea (bitter in a good way, I think.) and almost a nutty or almondish taste. I got a sample bag of this from a friend and it does take only 2-3 minutes to steep and comes out rather dark. I did not add sweetener. Not bad. Maybe as a dessert tea - or on Christm...

Orange Jasmine Black Tea from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 26th, 2013
This was a balanced tea that I found tasted much better once it had cooled to room temperature. I drank it hot, but I think it may actually make a much better iced tea than hot tea. If it weren't for the steep price tag, I'd recommend this one.
Flavor is very clean and crisp: there's a pleasant bitterness, and the...
Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2013
I can't stand Earl Grey - and yet I have tried many of them. Sometimes I try when I am at a convention or hotel or in an office or deli that carries Twinings. In this case they were all out of the other kids of teas and it was this or coffee - so I gave it a go (hot with a bit of splenda). Not as good as some I've t...

Earl Grey Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2013
I hate Earl Grey - and this one, in particular, is loaded with a bitter bergamot flavor. It's just not my bag, baby!
