Maple Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 31st, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: Maple, brown sugar, chai spice. This is a nice smelling tea! 8/10
Flavor: This is a very good one. The maple is pronounced but not aggressive, the sweet and spicy plays fantastically. Even more so, the aftertaste is really inviting for another sip. 9/10
Body: Full. One of the fullest...
Red Velvet Cake from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 30th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: You really almost smell butter cream icing. It’s a nice note but it’s not what I typically associate with red velvet cake. 7/10
Flavor: This also has a cake batter / icing type note. It’s pretty nice. 7/10
Body: Fairly full. It’s a nice compliment to the cake type drink. 8/10...
Chocolate Earl Grey from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 29th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: Clearly earl grey. Bergamot is very strong. Not unpleasant but a little disjointed. 6/10
Flavor: I tried this plain and then added a splash of almond milk. The milk blended out some rough edges and left a nice citrus flavor with the lightest kiss of cocoa. 7/10
Body: Medium to medium ...
Chocolate Covered Almond from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 5min
Aroma: This tea reminds me of a chocolate covered biscotti. Really inviting, very dessertlike. 8/10
Flavor: Very cocoa forward with a minor note of almond. 8/10
Body: This guy is a touch thin. More heft would make this decadent. 6/10
Value: Price seems fair at around 5 dollars per ounc...
Candy Apple Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
Aroma: The aroma of the dry tea had a lot more going on that the liquid. In the mug, I’m really only getting pure black tea (which is fine but this is designed as a flavored tea). 6/10
Flavor: This isn’t what I’d call overly flavorful. That said, there is a nice black tea ba...
Pumpkin Spice Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
It’s Christmas and all of my gifts this year were tea. I’ve had quite a day of sampling some new blends. I’m probably well over the caffeine limit but let’s keep the train rolling.
One of my gifts was a holiday adagio set with six 1oz tins. Most of the blends sounded tasty ...

Read Full ReviewCardamom French Toast from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 200F, 2.5tsp, 16oz, 7min
Aroma: There is something to be said for a tea smelling like WGT it’s called. There is a sense of buttery, sugary, french toast. 8/10
Flavor: This is in the zone as well. It does lean on the sweeter side of French toast but this has that richness that you’d associate with break...
Gingerbread Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2020
Prep: 212F,5min, 2tsp, 16oz water
Aroma: Really getting the black tea malty notes but not a ton of anything else. 6/10
Flavor: This comes across primarily as a creamy black tea. I’m not sure if maybe I just need to shake the tin a bit. It’s a good black tea though! 6/10
Body: Fairly full bodied tea. 7/1...
Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2020
I’m not an expert on earl gray. This may be the first I’ve ever had.
Prep: 200F, 5min, 2.5tsp, 16oz
Aroma - There is a ton of citrus exploding out of the cup. I can’t pick up much else, honestly.
Flavor: A little bit of orange peel, more orange zesty notes. It’s pretty hard to get to the actual tea....
Earl Grey Decaffeinated Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend51 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 7th, 2020
Having not been either impressed nor repulsed by Bigelow's regular Earl Grey, and having not gotten any new teas to review for some months, and having to work down a stockpile of reviewed teas, I finally raided my wife's cache of the decaf version to try it for a report here. I've missed RateTea more than I've missed ...
Read Full ReviewComfort and Joy from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 5th, 2020
Prep: double teabag, 12 oz, hot.
Aroma: this is a spice-driven tea. It’s hard to get past the cinnamon and nutmeg. I think there is an apple note but it’s way behind the spice assault.
Flavor: The flavor, ironically, is all about the apple with a mild cinnamon spice. There may be some cranberry notes trying ...
Holiday Tea from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 3rd, 2020
This was another good value tea offered by Harney & Sons. Hats off to their tea blenders, that is an area they seem to excel in - taking mediocre teas, adding to them, and making them into something better. This seems like a cheap Chinese black tea that is nicely spiced up (with citrus, almond, clove, safflowers, and...

Nov. 22nd, 2020
Cup at home, made from a teabag. Pours hazy dark brown (against white china) with sediment. Intense aroma of malt, bergamot oil, citrus and, well, horse manure, if you ask me, with some leafy notes of black tea. Bitter flavour of black tea, with some malty notes (Assam?) and citric touches and hints of bergamot oil. As...

Half-litre pot at home, made from a mixture of black tea from Ceylon, China and India (most of it looks like Ceylon and Assam, but a fee longer rolled leaves can be found, too), pieces of orange and lemon peel as well as anise, star anise, cinnamon and cloves - a truly autumnal composition.

Oct. 6th, 2020
Caveat: ignore my lofty rating if you don't like coconut, or coconut-flavored teas. Then again, those repulsed by coconut are unlikely to purchase this product anyway. :-)
Since I do enjoy coconut a great deal, on its own and as an attachment to many things from tea to shrimp to candy and cake...wow. Of all the ...
East Frisian Vanilla Koppke ® (No. 969) from TeaGschwendner
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 26th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home, made from a mixture of various strong black teas (Assam and, perhaps, Ceylon, judging by the looks and the scent), ground Bourbon vanilla and aroma.
