I had this tea at a local restaurant with my breakfast. Very enjoyable. Steeps quickly. Nice blend flavor. Great pairing with my meal. I will order this tea every time I dine at this restaurant.

Aged Puerh Tea Brick from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China44 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 12th, 2023
So, I am going to generalize with this review as there is not a lot going with this offering from Numi.
After breaking the first bar piece off I actually put this in the back of my cupboard, a few years later it has resurfaced, and I decided to give it a go.
No matter the water temp, steep time, serving temp (hot...
Aged Puerh Tea Brick from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 17th, 2022
I recently ordered some tea and bulk herbs from iherb.com. This Numi pu erh brick was novel enough that I couldn't pass it up. I'll say up front that I'm not a huge fan of shou pu erh, but I've tried enough varieties at varying price points and even found some that I enjoy that I should at least be able to tell what I'...

Breakfast Blend (Morning Rise) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 19th, 2019
It's a very good tea without anything that makes it stand out. Just a well balanced blend.
I would like to try this loose-leaf.
Aged Earl Grey™ - Bergamot Black from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Assam, India67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 9th, 2019
This is one of the best Earl Greys I've had. The base tea is wonderful and the bergamot is subtle. Note that I'm saying that "subtle" is a positive thing, so if you like Earl Grey with a powerful citrus flavor, then this one might not be what you're looking for.
That said, the tea is extremely mellow for an Assam in...
Chocolate Puerh - Black Tea Blend from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 20th, 2019
After tasting the Breakfast blend, this one's a bit of a letdown. The cocoa, vanilla and spices are smooth and quite delicious, but I don't taste much of the tea. Other than a hint of earthiness, it tastes just like chocolate cream pie to me.
It's good, but it's a bit too expensive for something that only tastes lik...
Breakfast Blend (Morning Rise) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 19th, 2019
Smells earthy, like a pu-erh, or one of the less sweet Yunnan blacks.
Numi's website says that this tea contains Keemun and that's the first impression I get from the flavor; it's full of dark molasses and prunes or raisins with a bit of cocoa. The finish is dryer, and the earthiness I noticed in the aroma lingers. ...

Jan. 16th, 2019
Had this at a cafe recently as a London Fog. They put THREE teabags in it and it was really overwhelming. Drank half the cup then added milk and it was so much better. Bought some to make myself and will update the review then.

Dry Desert Lime™ from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 3rd, 2019
This tea is really strange! It basically just tastes like sour lime water. It’s not bad but it’s definitely not my preference when it comes to herbal teas. This would be a good tea for someone who loves sour/limes or if you want to make and iced tea with sugar to be like limeade. It tastes good for what it is but u...

Turmeric Amber Sun from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 3rd, 2018
I'm not super crazy about the aroma of this tea, it has that weird turmeric smell. But the smell is very mild and it's really the taste that matters most. I've never had a turmeric tea before, but this one tastes pretty good to me. It is rich and smooth and has a unique flavor from the turmeric. If you've had turmeric ...

Gunpowder Green Tea - Temple of Heaven from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 1st, 2018
This tea has a mild roasty and vegetal aroma which I enjoy. The flavor is pretty good and also has a kind of roasted quality to it. I enjoy this green tea because it is very smooth and is definitely less astringent than many other green teas I’ve had. It still does have a slight astringent aftertaste in my throat but...

Aged Earl Grey™ - Bergamot Black from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Assam, India80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 12th, 2018
There is a lot of good about this tea, but with some trade off. To start with, I love the bold aroma. Big aroma and a bigger bag of earl grey per serving than other brands I have tried (Bigelow, Twinnings, Earl Greyer to name a few). The trade off here is it needs to be brewed the full 5 minutes like it says on the pac...

Rooibos Chai (Formerly Ruby Chai) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2017
I don’t like chai teas as much normally but this one I do actually like, probably because it also has rooibos which is good! It smells strongly of nutmeg and I enjoy that. The flavor is really pleasant and reminds me of the holidays. I would definitely drink this again! The only reason I didn’t give this a higher s...

Gunpowder Green Tea - Temple of Heaven from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 28th, 2017
Got this at the cafe at the St. Louis Museum of Art. Gunpowder tea in a bag seemed a little strange to me. I steeped for two minutes. It was pretty good. No qualities that jumped out at me, just a decent cup.

Moroccan Mint (Formerly Simply Mint) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????59 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 9th, 2017
The final bag in the rolling saga that is my Numi variety-pack taste run has been completed. For background, spearmint doesn't turn me on or off, but I much prefer peppermint. The Moroccan mint used here, for what it is (much closer to spearmint), tastes fresh and sweet, in a cup that brews up surprisingly dark for a...

Golden Chai™ - Spiced Assam Black Tea from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India49 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 3rd, 2017
This was among the least-appealing chai teas I've had so far—decent-tasting with some effort, but also, having an important turn-off and separate weakness that preclude a better rating.
The dry-bag and poured cup smelled dutifully spicy, but also somewhat urinary. That caught me off guard, and probably isn't the ...
Breakfast Blend (Morning Rise) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend62 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 29th, 2017
Count me in the upper-middle on this one—not quite as impressed as Alex (probably due to my lesser ability to detect subtleties) but certainly not as disappointed as some of the other reviewers further down the list either. It was good, and I'd drink more, for sure...just not for the price, when comparable bagged te...

Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend35 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 28th, 2017
In the roller-coaster experience that is the Numi variety pack, I've hit a deep dip again. At least, unlike some literal roller-coaster riders, I didn't retch.
For the most part, the teas I've tried so far containing turmeric have been underwhelming, at best. This one strikes me as a randomly conceived herbal vec...
Rooibos (Formerly Red Mellow Bush) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Rooibos – Region: South Africa59 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 24th, 2017
Ever pull apart a fresh new broom (the natural kind), crumble the straw and steep it up? I haven't (yet), but that's what straight rooibos reminds me of—broom tea, except with a red color and woody veneer.
Perhaps I share enough taste genes with ruminants (moooooooooo!) that the grassiness doesn't bother me muc...
Chamomile Lemon (Sweet Meadows) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 20th, 2017
Straight up: this is probably the best chamomile tea I've had. Chamomile is a difficult herb to either foul up or make amazing. Without some sort of enhancement, as Bill Parcells might say, "It is what it is." Numi helped by sprinkling lemon myrtle leaves into the mix.
This beverage brews up a rich golden color w...
Toasted Rice Green - Gen Mai Cha from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????34 / 100 Aroma: 1/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 14th, 2017
Toasted rice is a substance I enjoy in some contexts (in a breakfast-cereal blend, a topping on ice cream, or embedded in fudge and soft-chocolate candy), but I had no idea what to make of the combination of it with tea. Now I do...not a big fan.
The poured scent was practically nonexistent, as the tea's color ch...
Dry Desert Lime™ from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 10th, 2017
This is not true tea (Camellia sinensis) although it is an interesting beverage. Very sour. I've also used it as ingredient in some exotic recipes calling from dried lime. It's an interesting experience but definitely not a daily drinker!

Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 9th, 2017
When I lived in South Florida, I got to know and love fresh key limes, and still wolf down key lime pie when it is made the right way. Lime is one of my favorite fruit flavors, and the best among citruses to me. In fact, I often add lime juice to plain black teas.
Given that background, in hauling this out of a N...
Mate Lemon Green Tea - Rainforest Green™ from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: ?????54 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 7th, 2017
This tea has multiple-personality disorder. At times, it tasted like a smooth, non-sour, lemony yerba mate/green tea blend in rather delicious synchronization, a whole noticeably better than the sum of parts. Neither mate nor lemon are favorites of mine, yet the balance of them somehow worked in those sips. I almost...

Oct. 5th, 2017
This was one of the atypical flavored teas I've had with a scent (both dry-bag and in-cup) noticeably bigger than the taste. I'm having trouble rating this tea because it depends on what you're seeking. Aroma? Strong, fruity, potent, almost mouth-watering. Looks and taste? The base tea is very rich and flavorful, ...
