Peppermint Herbal Tea from Benner Tea Co
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2018
The peppermint is surprisingly good for the price and has plenty of flavor and menthol. There's just enough of an herbal, grassy flavor so it doesn't taste like a candy cane.
For drinkers of grocery store peppermint tea bags, Benner is as good as Bigelow or Celestial Seasonings, but significantly less expensive, $1....
Mint Medley® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 12th, 2018
Both the dry and brewed tea smell almost like Wrigley's Doublemint gum with the balance a little more toward peppermint.
The taste is not what I was expecting. The tea is definitely minty, but as the ingredients include rose hips, lemon peel and hibiscus, I was expecting some fruitiness. Of the extra ingredients, I ...
Nana Mint with Ginger and Lemon from Wissotzky
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 2nd, 2018
The tea's aroma is an almost equal balance of spearmint ("Nana Mint") and ginger. The mint is of good quality, with no stems apparent and no off flavors that are sometimes apparent in cheaper mint teas. Unfortunately, Wissotzky seems to have decided that all of their herbal teas, including this one, need to be sweetene...

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 16th, 2018
This fruit tea smells just like crushed blueberries. Sipping the tea emphasizes the tartness and astringency of the hibiscus and rosehips that seem to be in all fruit tea these days. The finish tastes like canned blueberry pie filling.
The flavoring in this is too heavy. I think I'd just prefer the hibiscus and rose...
Wild Raspberry Hibiscus Herbal Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 17th, 2018
This tea's flavor is more complex than the other raspberry-flavored teas that I've been trying lately. No one ingredient overpowers the flavor. It's quite tart, but it doesn't have the astringency that other hibiscus and rosehip blends do. The raspberry is noticeable when smelling the cup, but fades into the background...

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 9th, 2018
The dry tea bag smells like dry raspberry Kool-Aid. Adding the water just intensifies the raspberry aroma.
The flavor is similar to Bigelow's Red Raspberry, but with a different balance. The raspberry flavor is much more pronounced, and the hibiscus is less tart. I feel it on the tongue more than taste it, but it se...
Red Raspberry Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 9th, 2018
The dry, standard tea bag smells like "blue raspberry" candy. Nice, but no complexity. Adding the water brings out the aroma of the hibiscus. The brewing tea is even deeper red than hibiscus, so the elderberries must be for color.
The flavor is hibiscus and rose hips with a little raspberry in the finish. The tartne...
Watermelon Lime Zinger from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 30th, 2017
This herbal tea has a nice flavor blend. Hibiscus and rose hips together already tastes nice, but adding a little watermelon and lime flavor makes for a fruity and refreshing blend. It's pleasantly tart and fruity with a nice sweetness from the watermelon. I find the flavor well balanced, but I like tart beverages, so ...
Read Full ReviewBlack Cherry Berry Herb Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 30th, 2017
I'm a big fan of fruit punch flavors and decided to try this tea based on the other reviews. I wasn't disappointed. While slightly heavy on the cherries (which is to be expected, after all), it really does have a fruit punch flavor.
Aside from the tartness of the hibiscus, the flavor really doesn't reflect the named...
Orange & Spice Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 30th, 2017
I recently tried some decaf Constant Comment and liked the orange and spice blend, so I tried this. This blend is, in a word, disappointing. Orange & Spice is much heavier on the cinnamon and while I can taste the clove if I look for it, it's very much a background flavor. I don't smell or taste the orange at all. This...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 17th, 2017
The dry tea is pungent, smelling of both spearmint and peppermint with a hint of cinnamon. Adding water intensifies the aroma without really changing the balance. With the first taste, I realized that this tea is all about the mint. It's definitely high quality; while cheaper mint often tastes of stems and hay, there'...

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2017
I'm pretty sure this tea/tisane is almost artificial. While the ingredients aren't artificial, they aren't just plant parts, either. First, I think most of the orange aroma comes from a layer of orange oil ("natural orange essence" in the ingredients) sprayed on the teabag. The teabag itself is actually yellow-orange a...
Read Full ReviewLemon Ginger Herbal Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 3rd, 2017
The dry teabag smells strongly of ginger with a lemony background. Adding water really brings out the lemongrass. My first thought is that it smells like a kind of Thai soup.
Ginger tends to overpower other flavors, but in this case there's a nice balance between the ginger and lemongrass. I can taste the lemon and ...
