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...
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 ...
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...

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...
Blackberry Sage Decaf from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 21st, 2013
For a decaf version this is great! Very sagey - a bit moreso than the standard version with fruity berry notes. A great tea hot or over ice.

This is my go-to, reasonably priced, bagged Earl Grey and has been since my undergraduate years at college. Our little coffee shop on campus supplied Bigelow brand and that was where I was introduced to this tea.
I absolutely love the smell of the Bergamot from this tea and have yet to find any other bagged version...
Earl Grey from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 15th, 2013
I've liked all the loose Ahmad teas that I've tried and I was surprised to find that I didn't care for one of their bagged versions!
The Bergamot smell is one of my favorite things about Earl Grey and this tea lacked it. The taste of the tea was a little too bitter and strong for me as well. I'll stick with Bige...
Black Currant from Tea Forte
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 13th, 2013
Super expensive (as all the cutesy-packaged Tea Forte teas are!) but so deliciously fruity and easy to drink. (You can get 2 cups easily out of a bag - so keep that in mind. Needs no sweetener. Very good for first-time tea drinkers and the adorable packaging (and high price) make it a suitable hostess gift. Fun. (S...

Earl Grey from Hampstead Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2013
I wasn't terribly impressed with this one.
The base tea tasted a little bland and generic to me. Hampstead does not share where the base tea is from, but it tastes more like Ceylon tea than anything else. The bergamot presence is light. Some slightly odd tones in the aroma, including black pepper and something su...
Blackberry Sage from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 13th, 2013
I love this tea - second only to Ginger Peach fom the same company - and it comes loose or in bags. Fruity, herbaceous and black/caffeinated - although the decaf version is nice also. Great iced or hot.

Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 13th, 2013
I suppose in general this is my "go-to" Tea brand. It is extremely reliable in terms of flavor and price. I find that Twinning bagged tea lacks the strength of flavor I began to crave after drinking Bigelow on a regular basis. Of course, I take my Bigelow Earl Grey with two tea bags, and a capful of lemon juice/one wed...

Ginger Peach Decaf from Republic of Tea

May. 3rd, 2013
I love this tea - sweet, peachy (without tasting of artificial peach) and a whisper of ginger (slightly lemony when served hot). Great hot or over iced. A winner for me.

Lady Grey from Twinings
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 15th, 2013
Although it is a relatively inexpensive tea, I really enjoy this lady grey from Twinings. Those who enjoy a more subtle flavor of tea will enjoy this. It has a slightly fruity taste which I enjoy. It's the best when eating sweets I think. The light citrus flavor will compliment tart fruit flavors and offset sweeter fla...
