Rooibos Coco Chai from Chai Diaries
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: Blend52 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Sep. 4th, 2023
As with their other product that I have reviewed (Bombay Masala Chai), the concept is great, but the execution is lame. The sachets only contain around 1/5 their volume of dry product, which (as can be expected with rooibos) doesn't expand very much when wet, leaving the wet bags still 1/4 full or less. What a waste ...

Snow Chrysanthemum Flower Tea- Xue Ju Hua Cha from Teasenz
Style: Chrysanthemum Tea – Region: China95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 4th, 2023
A robust kind of chrysanthemum tea, love this especially in the autumn and winter season, but is quite good to as an ice tea in the summer. I only use 1.5g of tea per mug, as just a few flowers release already a lot of flavour!

Passion Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 12th, 2023
Here's the most-rated Tazo product on RateTea, but haven't yet rated here for unknown reasons. So...this is that, since I snagged some at a hotel.
The blend brews up a dense magenta hue quite quickly, presumably from the added elderberry extract ("for color" on the ingredients label). Dry-bag aroma is generically ...
Maui Mango from Tiesta Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 12th, 2023
With this, I will have reviewed a tea named Mango Maui (Hawaiian Islands Tea Company) and Maui Mango (Tiesta). They're radically different, however. The former is a very good, flavored black tea, while this one is mostly dried fruit by volume (pineapple, orange slices, mango, and strawberry) with flowers sprinkled in...

Upton Apricot Honey Rooibos Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Rooibos – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 28th, 2023
This is a mellow, apricot-flavored rooibos, with added sunflower petals. It is all organic too, so I guess that means the "natural flavor" is also organic. The aroma is pleasant, and a little reminiscent of breakfast cereal or scented oil. The apricot flavor is certainly noticeable. Why do rooibos teas all have to ...

Holiday Spice from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 1st, 2022
This blend of rooibos, orange peels, hibiscus, and cloves (the visually obvious ingredients...I think there's some cinnamon and ginger in this too) wasted no time rocketing to the top of my flavored-rooibos list, and very nearly the top of all herbals for me. The website says the tea is modeled after pomander oranges,...

Refresh Mint Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 2nd, 2022
My first in-person conference this decade yielded a few new teas to try and to rate. This was one. As always with such "freebies", value is based on the online and/or local store price.
This is a tea I would call "socially awkward" if it were a human. It hides quietly in the corner when you expect a meaningful i...
Pomelo (No. 1295) from TeaGschwendner
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 17th, 2022
One-litre pot at home, made from a mixture of lemongrass, apple pieces, orange peel, lemon balm, sweet blackberry leaves, liquorice, sugar-coated pomelo bits, natural flavour, orange slices, and cornflower blossom. Pours nearly clear straw (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of lemongrass, pomelo and ap...

Organic Orange Vanilla Creme Rooibos Tea from 365 Everyday Value
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: South Africa79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 28th, 2022
Orange-vanilla isn't a rooibos flavoring I had tried yet, but it's a favorite in general, both for black tea and going back to the childhood Creamsicle days. It's also labeled as naturally flavored. Therefore, even though I ordinarily wouldn't buy a 40-pack of a new tea taste-untested, I figured a gamble on this offe...

Indian Love Tea from Native American Tea Company
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend55 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 14th, 2022
This tea isn't easy to love, since the smell is weird, but I don't hate it, since the taste is decent, which may be the "love" in the tea offsetting my lack of love *for* the tea. If you can make sense of that, you're well-prepared for the ingredients list. It looks like something out of the Yogi Tea bazillion-herbs ...

Wild Berries from Twinings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend66 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 5th, 2022
This is Twinings' take on the standard rosehip/hibiscus blend with added flavors. It's fruity, leaning heavily toward strawberry. The hibiscus lends a bit of tartness, but as far as I can tell, the other ingredients are just carriers for the host of added "natural flavors."
The main difference in this one is the pre...
African Honeybush, Mandarin and Orange from Twinings
Style: Flavored Honeybush – Region: ?????45 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 4th, 2022
The dry bag smells like canned mandarin oranges and the infusion smells like orange soda.
The flavor is slightly more complex. I get some of the toasty woodiness of the honeybush and the flavor's nice, but is weak and a bit stale tasting. It's mediocre all around in that there are higher quality herbals and better-t...
Cranberry Pomegranate from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend66 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 29th, 2022
I got this tea for my wife, who likes cranberry flavor, but she has avoided it because the main aroma and flavor is from the rooibos (which she doesn't like). So to please her, I drink it instead. ;-)
This is one of the very few flavored or herbal teas I've had containing rooibos where the rooibos clearly dominate...
G'day Mate from SerendipiTea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 5th, 2022
This is a pretty straightforward blend of organic (& kosher) yerba mate, peppermint, and lemon myrtle. The tea is named after the famous Australian way of saying hello, but I don't know what connection exists between this tea and that Pacific nation. It is probably just a reference to the yerba mate. The lemony, herb...

Red Jasmine Tea from TWG Tea
Style: Rooibos – Region: South Africa40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 2nd, 2022
This tea was a gift. It is not tea, but rooibos flavored with jasmine. Individual bags are sealed. The aroma is woodsy, cedar like.The flavor is difficult for me to describe, almost medicinal. The jasmine is a noticeable after taste. While I am not a fan of this particular tisane, I would be curious to try the teas the...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 11th, 2022
This is a straightforward blend of two organic herbs - lemon myrtle and mint. Overall the results are quite nice, even if the myrtle bosses around the mint (which I think is spearmint rather than peppermint - how many mints are there to choose from anyway?) I have this with a little sugar, and have not yet tried it o...

Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 7th, 2022
This mostly organic tisane is a mix of rooibos, cocoa, and coconut, along with a little vanilla cream flavoring. The aroma is mostly vanilla cream, with a little fresh grain. The flavor is a very nice blend of cocoa, coconut, and vanilla along with mellow rooibos. I take it with plant milk and sugar. Another very nic...

Manzanilla (Chamomile) from Tadin Herb and Tea Co.
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 14th, 2022
Value-wise, I've found that cheaper chamomile really is best much of the time, since the quality doesn't seem to vary greatly from one brand to another. So when I run low or out, I just grab something inexpensive when I see it. Such was the case here, and I rate "value" highly for two reasons:
1) The tea was on sal...
Rooibos Tea from Frontier
Style: Rooibos – Region: South Africa75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 6th, 2022
I bought a one-pound mylar bag of Frontier rooibos and transferred it to a couple of airtight jars. While recognizably rooibos, the contents of this bag have an extra note of oregano.
I brewed 5g in 16 ounces of boiling water. The oregano aroma is pronounced. It's good, but less nutty and sweet than I'm used to. I d...
Bulk Spearmint Leaf, Cut & Sifted, Organic from Frontier
Style: Spearmint Tea – Region: ?????95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 27th, 2022
I love spearmint herbal tea, but it's usually only available as a blend with peppermint. The only pure spearmint that I've been able to find locally in tea bags is Traditional Medicinals and they've been out of stock at the store where I buy them. I normally don't buy bulk because it's often stale, but since I was orde...

Rosehip & Hibiscus from Teekanne
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????69 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 21st, 2022
Rosehip and hibiscus teas, by themselves, don't excite me much, because they tend to be on the sour side. I'm not a big fan of sour teas. Still, as those go, this one's among the most flavorful and naturally colorful I've had. It also has one of the stronger dry-bag aromas—more rosy than fruity, and transitions to...

One-litre pot at home, made from dried leaves and blossom of organic sideritis. Pours clear peach yellow (against white china) with no sediment. Intense herbal aroma, resembling a blend of chamomile and peppermint. Ditto flavour, with notes of fennel. Amazing how a single plant can give such nuances. Peppery and minty ...
