Organic Herbal Chai from Allegro
Style: Rooibos / Tea Blend – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 16th, 2020
Prep: 1.5tsp per 8oz, 200F, 5min
Aroma: Quite nutty with some vanilla and cinnamon notes. I’d venture to say that the majority of the aroma is from the base Rooibos and less on the added herbal pieces.
Flavor: Extremely mild. I’m not sure if an extended steep would help here but there isn’t a ton going on. A...
Coconut Mate from Allegro
Style: Yerba Maté – Region: South Africa72 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 4th, 2020
Aroma really has a creamy coconut note.
Flavor isn’t overly complex but hits the coconut note well. Body is fairly thick.
Peaceful Slumber from Allegro
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 9th, 2019
Uncommonly in my admittedly limited tea-drinking experience, this was the second different bagged chamomile blend (as opposed to pure chamomile) from the same company—the first being "Relaxing Chamomile". This tea is decidedly chamomile-dominant in dry-bag, in-cup and wet-bag aromas, and despite not having the word...

Relaxing Chamomile from Allegro
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2018
Until "Relaxing Chamomile", I hadn't chugged a chamomile tea with this many ingredients: at least seven. I say, "at least", because after chamomile, hawthorne berry, eleuthero, rose petals, natural blood orange flavor, and natural vanilla flavor, the final ingredient was, "other natural flavors", whatever that means....

Northwest Minty Green from Allegro
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: Blend66 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 26th, 2018
Here's the next entry in the dossier of Allegro teas obtained at one of our Colorado vacation stops. This is one of the few that I would consider ordering on its own merit...that is, if I weren't already dropping bags of inexpensive peppermint tea in with good green tea on occasion, to accomplish much the same result....

Lemon Ginger Tulsi from Allegro
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 23rd, 2018
It seems like the few Tulsi teas I've tried so far have been paired in some way with ginger, regardless of other ingredients. This was no exception. The ingredients list explicitly states three kinds of Tulsi: Krishna, Rama, and Vana, two of which coincidentally were first names of sisters I knew in middle school who...

Indian Chai from Allegro
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????66 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 9th, 2018
A vacation motel/lodge at which I was staying in southern Colorado had a large assortment of Allegro teas, all of which I have tried or will. [I'm basing "value" off their stated online prices, compared to what one gets.] Here's the next in line.
By itself, this was a reasonably good tea, albeit different than e...
Tropical White from Allegro
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 4th, 2018
Realizing white tea isn't supposed to be particularly intense, from what I've read here regarding its "delicate" flavor, and that any attempt to flavor it must be careful so as to avoid overwhelming the base tea, I went in to the consumption undertaking not expecting to be blasted through the roof by an explosion of po...

Earl Grey from Allegro
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend54 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 2nd, 2018
When you have lemons, make lemonade? That seems to have happened here. While not overpowering, the distinct aroma of lemon wafted rather aggressively out of the pouch when I tore it open, and that scent stayed in the dry bag strongly until pouring the hot water through it. The in-cup smell was more balanced, but the...

Pomegranate Green from Allegro
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend69 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 28th, 2018
This is a very well-balanced rendition of berry-flavored green tea, an enjoyable sip or chug. As I've found with many bagged green teas, the dry-bag aroma was weak, but in-cup, the smell became more full and representative of the taste, while the deeply breathed wet-bag aroma was richest of all sensations (including ...

Afternoon Lift from Allegro
Style: Flavored Yerba Maté – Region: Blend61 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 15th, 2018
I've never been a big fan of the base flavor of yerba mate, which strikes me as metallic and overly bitter, despite trying to get used to it during my years living in South Florida, where everything from sodas to candy, tea, baked goods, and even alcoholic beverages are made with it. That caveat duly affixed herein, I...

Rooibos Vibrations from Allegro
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 14th, 2018
The dry-bag* and in-cup scents were robust and screamed "chai", which is great since I enjoy such tea. Cinnamon and cardamom stood obvious, cloves and black pepper being apparent with some concentration, the other ingredients a good deal less so. Even though ginger is the second ingredient (behind rooibos), I only co...

Earl Grey from Allegro
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 24th, 2011
This is not a typical Earl Grey; it also contains lemon flavoring as well as the usual bergamot, but the difference is subtle. The overall character of this tea is relatively strong, but not particularly complex. There is a fairly strong bergamot presence, with some noticeable lemon too, but the base black tea does n...

China White Citrus from Allegro
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 15th, 2010
This tea has the characteristic qualities of lemon myrtle dominating the aroma...even though tea is the main ingredient, the tea presence is notably weaker. The cup is light in color and slightly opaque. There's a fair amount of astringency.
Interesting, and drinkable, but I would prefer a bolder presence of white...
