Shoumei White Tea from Foojoy
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 12th, 2011
This tea is really good. I drink it practically every day, and I like it better now than I did before. It brews really dark for a white tea. I only had to brew it for a couple of minutes, and with other white teas it takes me a lot longer to get enough flavor out of them. This one has a strong flavor that I like. It's ...

Bai Mudan White Tea from Foojoy
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 25th, 2011
The aroma of this tea is a bit mild and slightly floral. The aroma and taste are both delicate and refreshing, and a bit toasty. This Bai Mudan has no bitterness or astringency, and is quite full and smooth, with some subtle sweetness. Much better than supermarket white teas, to be sure. From the first cup, I like this...

Genmaicha Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Genmaicha – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 29th, 2011
My first Genmaicha. Usually I drink Chinese teas, or at least Chinese style teas, so this is a bit of a departure for me.
This tea does not retain much of its Sencha characteristics, or at least they are somewhat covered up in the general style. The tea is brewed to a light color, a bit surprising for the aroma and ...
China Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Green Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
May. 29th, 2011
This tea has a mild and slightly vegetal aroma. The taste is mild, smooth, and slightly sweet. The tea brews to a light greenish / golden color. Overall, this is a mild but nice green tea.
Originally I wrote a pretty scathing review of this tea, most of which I have removed. Taken for what it is, this is a mild and ...
China Classic Oolong from Foojoy
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
May. 21st, 2011
The Chinese name printed on the packaging for China Classic Oolong sheds some light on this tea. It reads as Fuzi Zhongguo Minnan Wulong Cha, or "Foojoy Chinese Minnan Wulong Tea." Here, Minnan refers to the southern region of Fujian province. Therefore, a more accurate English name for this tea, following the Chinese,...

China Jasmine Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 21st, 2011
For my first cup of this tea, I used water that had just finished coming to a boil, and then I accidentally forgot about the cup for at least five minutes. It turned out very nicely, though. The tea brews to a deep golden color, and is very fragrant. The aroma is essentially similar to other jasmine teas I have had. Th...

Lungching Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 21st, 2011
When seeing the price and packaging of these Foojoy teas, my initial impression was that they must be low quality at such a price point. Like my experience with Tenren, this initial impression has turned out to be wrong.
This Longjing is a fine representative of the style in a teabag. The tea brews to a golden color...
Monkey-Picked Ti Kuan Yin from Foojoy
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 15th, 2010
The tea is rather brisk and sharp, but not necessarily in an unpleasant way. Next time I will let it brew for a little less time. This tea has a distinct taste of baked red apples. If anyone has ever done this before, some of the apple caramelizes as it bakes and makes it a little sweeter than normal, there are de...

Royal Kuan Yin Tea from Foojoy
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Fujian, China57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 1st, 2010
Astonishing quality from such an inexpensive teabag!
With a single 5-minute infusion (shorter leaves a bland cup--the finely-broken leaves are packed tightly in the teabag and the flavor does not diffuse quickly) I found an amber colored cup with a mellow, subtle aroma and smooth flavor. In my experience, only good...
China Jasmine Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 12th, 2010
This was acceptable, but I was disappointed with the flavor and weakness of the aroma compared to Foojoy's other teabag teas that I've tried. The value was o.k., but the flavor could have been better. I agree with Alex's review, which recommends a longer brewing time.

WuYi Mtn. Oolong Tea (Wuyi Oolong) from Foojoy
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2010
As with many other Foojoy teabag teas, this is a good value for the cost. I recently discovered some of it that I had forgotten about in my office desk months ago, and I found it kept surprisingly well. The flavor is that of a good quality oolong.

Triple-Cup Extra Green from Foojoy
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2010
Aroma fresh and grassy, with a hint of toastiness and a faint suggestion of mint. Very delicate flavor: I'd call this one slightly brisk but not bitter. Remarkably full-bodied given the lightness of the flavor. The astringency builds somewhat upon drinking it but even by the end it's still enjoyable.
This tea is ...
China Jasmine Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 3rd, 2010
Weak Jasmine aroma, even relative to other teabag Jasmine teas. Flavor is sweet, gentle, with almost no bitterness and with only a hint of sourness. Aroma is honeylike, like a pouchong, but weak and not terribly interesting.
This tea scalds very easily if brewed with water that is too hot. Be sure to use water we...
China Jasmine Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 25th, 2010
OK, it's been a long time since I've had this tea but I remember it being really disappointing and bitter. Foojoy strikes me as the cheapo brand of chinese teas.. hit or miss.

Lichee Black Tea from Foojoy
Style: Lychee Black Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 20th, 2010
Pleasantly fruity, yet with a black tea that has some presence. The aroma suggests sweetness but this tea can get quite bitter. Not the most complex tea but it is well-balanced and enjoyable.
As with Foojoy's other teas, this one is unparalleled among teabag teas of this price. I recommend a brief (1-2 min.) infu...
Lungching Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 8th, 2009
While this pales in comparison to loose dragon well teas that I've tried, it's definitely true to the style. The low price and simple packaging of the teabags are deceptive...this tea retains a lot of complexity. It brews a rich golden color and is quite aromatic. If you let it brew a long time, it acquires some ast...

Style: Lychee Black Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 6th, 2009
Foojoy teas are very nicely priced and always tasty. This tea has a strong lichee (lychee) sweet scent and flavor to it, and the black tea can be very bitter if steeped too long. I recommend pulling the teabag out before you think you need to, just to see if it has reached the right level of flavor for you. I prefer th...

Nov. 9th, 2009
As with Foojoy's China Black Tea, I found this a surprisingly good value. The black tea was wrapped in individual paper packets, whereas the Lunching box has several aluminum sealed packets containing individual bags. This tea has a pleasant aroma and a decent flavor. It compares favorably to many other green teas sol...

China Black Tea from Foojoy
Style: Black Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 14th, 2009
Given that this was a teabag tea, made out of fannings, and the individual teabags weren't even sealed in paper, this tea was remarkably fresh and complex.
The tea brews a dark reddish brown. The flavor is mellow and the aroma earthy; it reminds me a lot of a keemun. There's a little bitterness and some astringenc...
