Blueberry BOO! from Della Terra Teas

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 31st, 2013

The aroma of this haunted tea is sweet and full of blueberries and chocolate, no ghosts though but that may be a good thing. The steeped tea is more malt and chocolate, less blueberry. The liquid is much the same but as it cools the chocolate becomes more prominent.

The taste is great! A good blend of black teas wit...

Pumpkin Spice Black Tea from Republic of Tea

77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 30th, 2013

The aroma is sweet and spicy, lots of spice! The most prevalent spice is clove. Once the tea is brewed the spices balance out and is perfect for a chilly day. A very autumnal aroma indeed.

The taste is great, a balance of sweetness and spiciness. It tastes just like pumpkin pie spice (no pumpkin of course) and is p...

Chestnut Tea from Adagio Teas

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 7th, 2013

This tea is nutty goodness! The aroma is nutty, malty, and just slightly burnt. Luckily the burnt aroma fades with brewing and the aroma becomes much richer.

The taste is delicious, very evocative of the cold night curled up in front of a fire munching on chestnuts. Subtle sweetness mixed with roasted nuttiness for...

Birthday Tea from Adagio Teas

Aug. 21st, 2013

When you open up a bag of loose tea and see sprinkles hanging out with the leaves you cannot help but smile. I got a sample of this from Adagio when I ordered a bunch of tea for my birthday...so nice when a company pays attention to these things!

The aroma is so uncannily like a cupcake that I could have been foole...

Aug. 19th, 2013

I have no complaints about the aroma, it smells like a mix of oranges and lemons, which is pleasant, especially first thing in the morning when you need an extra zing.

Sadly the flavor left a lot to be desired, it tasted too artificial. Like drinking a particularly weak tea that accidentally had some perfume dumped...

English Afternoon from Ahmad Tea

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend

60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 17th, 2013

The aroma is pleasant and mild with a hint of Bergamot.

The flavor was slightly bitter and citrusy from the Bergamot and Ceylon, but other than that there is no real flavor. I was not overwhelmed with the flavor and a little disappointed.

Aug. 17th, 2013

The first thing that struck me about this tea was the aroma, this might be the first Earl Grey I have sampled where you can smell the tea under the Bergamot. So often with Earl Grey I can never get a feel for the tea's aroma because I am too busy being kicked in the face with Bergamot. The aroma is fantastic, smooth an...

Cardamon Tea (Cardamom Tea, Loose) from Ahmad Tea

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

83 / 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...

Vanilla Almond from Republic of Tea

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

77 / 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...

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

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!

Apr. 12th, 2013

This just might be my new favorite from Adagio! Wonderfully floral and fruity with just a slight tart taste...just like guanabana fruit. It tastes good black or with a bit of sugar and milk.

The tea leaves smell very chocolaty but sadly I felt like the tea just tasted burnt. Also tastes a bit bitter like dark chocolate which I liked and felt complimented the tea taste. Wish it did not have the burnt taste or it would be a favorite!

Apr. 12th, 2013

The first thing you notice with this tea is the overpowering perfume of roses, it is like walking into a rose garden during full summer and everything is in bloom. It is not at all unpleasant or artificial smelling.

The taste is sublime, it is like drinking a rose garden with a really lovely black tea. Subtly sweet...

Apr. 12th, 2013

I love almond teas and I am always looking for new ones to try, this one did not disappoint. At first the aroma of the leaves had me a bit worried, it was almost overpowering and I thought the tea would be bitter from almond extract (a common problem with almond teas) but upon brewing I discovered that the tea was not ...

Toasted Sesame from Adagio Teas

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon

43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 2nd, 2012

The aroma of the leaves and the tea itself are very bland, no toasted sesame at all just a vague burnt smell.

Sadly I found this tea disappointing, it tastes like a decent black tea but there is not sesame taste except for a vague burnt taste. I was hoping for a bold sesame taste but did not get that.

Nov. 2nd, 2012

This tea smells quite delightful, very spicy and evocative of autumn and pumpkin pie! The blend of spices is really lovely and you can smell them all.

The flavor on the other hand is good, but tastes nothing like pumpkins. I can taste the spices and they are delicious but I was disappointed by the lack of pumpkin f...
