Assam Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India68 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 4th, 2020
The dry tea has almost no odor at all. The teabag smells slightly woody, which could either be from the tea or the paper. The tea looks to be CTC pellets that were ground up further. I wonder if the "Pure Assam" that this tea seems to have replaced was orthodox tea and that's the difference.
This tea smells tannic a...
English Breakfast Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 4th, 2020
Each bag contains 2.5g of what looks like ground up CTC pellets. There's very little scent from the dry tea. It smells faintly woody, like a new newspaper.
This tea brews up dark. Before I've finished pouring the water, the tea is already darker than most black teas end up. By the time brewing's done, it's a deep br...
Decaffeinated Breakfast Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend51 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 2nd, 2020
Dry, this tea smells like a Lipton teabag, which is potentially promising. I've yet to find a decaffeinated black tea that actually tastes like tea.
After adding water, a hint of earthiness comes through. The dominant aroma is the same wet paper smell that I now realize is a hallmark of decaffeinated black tea. The ...
Lemon & Orange Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend48 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 28th, 2020
The tea in the bags is in small enough pieces that it's difficult to tell if it started out orthodox or CTC, but I think it's orthodox. It smells pleasently lemon-orange, but no tea shines through yet. After adding the water, the tea smells like fresh orange pulp. The tea itself is muted with the barest hint of malt ri...

Afternoon Darjeeling Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India64 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 21st, 2019
The dry tea is chopped up quite fine. It looks like a typical Darjeeling, having a range of colors from light green to a dark brown, indicating a range of oxidations. Taylor's puts 2.5 grams of tea in their bags, splitting the difference between the typical American 2 grams and the 3 grams of many English bagged teas.

Organic Chamomile Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 2nd, 2019
This is good quality chamomile. After opening the heavy paper and foil pouch, the dry teabag has a much richer aroma than most chamomile that I've had. The contents of the teabag looks ground up and entirely flower parts with no stems or leaves.
It brews up a deep gold with a slight greenish hue. The aroma of the li...
