Organic Dragon Well (Long Jing) from Bare Tea
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2015
After trying it again, I'm redoing my original review of this tea.
This is a very nice Dragon Well. Excellent price for the quality and, so long as you don't let it oversteep, it makes several excellent cups.
This tea infuses quite slowly and tends to look pale. The taste is there, though. Waiting for some steam ...
Masala Chai from Bare Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 13th, 2014
I quite enjoyed this tea. The most notable spice in the smell and flavor is cardamom, but it isn't overpowering. I can also detect the undertones of apple that Alex mentioned.
For me, this tea worked both straight and with milk. Not my all time favorite, but a decent chai. Works well with food, too. Though progressi...
Organic Darjeeling (Makaibari Estate) from Bare Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 11th, 2014
Quite a nice Darjeeling. It isn't as complex or raisin-like as some others, but it certainly fits in with the better-than-most-black-teas-by-a-lot crowd. Like other Darjeelings, it strikes me as a better version of Southern tea than actual Southern teas. For me, this makes an excellent everyday drinking tea. Not only i...

Matcha Cafe Blend (Sweetened) from Bare Tea
Style: Matcha – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2014
I loved matcha in Japan, but I really need more practice brewing it. This matcha tastes of good quality and has a proper level of sweetness (not overdone). I like it, but I need to try it more to determine how best I like it. I do know that mixing in a little milk first to make a paste before adding the hot water makes...

Masala Chai from Bare Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India63 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 20th, 2014
This chai smells so good ... like cloves and cinnamon, or spiced apple cider. It tastes a little weak, and not really like it smells, but it's still enjoyable.

English Breakfast from Bare Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Anhui, China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 30th, 2014
Tried this one while on the go using a travel tea mug. I'll have to give it a proper tasting later, at home, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised! More subdued than most black teas, and not bitter at all (though I also made a point to steep it briefly).
Update: Okay, I got to try this again at work. It's definitely a...
Yunnan Gold from Bare Tea
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 24th, 2014
A distinctly raisin-like aroma and flavor. I like it! No bitterness I can notice. Interestingly, this steeped very quickly for a whole leaf tea. Even as I poured the water (brewed at 200 °F), the water became a deep brown with gold tints. After just one minute I went ahead and removed the sachet, as I felt like it wou...

Japanese Sencha from Bare Tea
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 9th, 2014
Excellent sencha! This tastes exactly like the tea I had while living in Japan. Pleasantly grassy, smoothly savory with a light sweetness. Goes great with food too. Simply great tea. Highly recommended!
Each bag has quite a lot of tea in it, so I definitely recommend both a relatively short steep time and repeated i...
Apple Meadow (Formerly Green Apple) from Bare Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 2nd, 2014
This is a lovely tea. The green apple flavoring was pleasant and natural, not artificial or excessively tart. It went very nicely with the green tea. Great for when you want a lightly sweet fruit tea.
I do wish the flavor was a bit stronger--the more the tea cooled down, the more muted its flavor became. So once you...
Chinese Jasmine from Bare Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 28th, 2014
Outstanding. This was one of the most interesting Jasmine teas I've ever tried. I normally don't think of jasmine as being complex, but this one was multifaceted and I kept finding different qualities in it each time I sipped it.
The tea bag and dry leaf smell almost minty, light, fresh, and cooling.
Upon brewi...
Yunnan Gold from Bare Tea
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 25th, 2014
I don't like the aroma much - to me, it smells like raisins and cereal. It tastes good, but more fruity than I would like. It has a raisin-like flavor, too. I added cream and sugar.

Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 22nd, 2014
An impressive tea--not the sort of blend that I tend to ever like, and I found this quite pleasant.
I found it really interesting that Bare Tea released an apple-flavored tea, since I thought their masala chai actually had an uncanny apple flavor to it. This tea does remind me a bit of that one.
I tend not to li...
Yunnan Gold from Bare Tea
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 14th, 2014
This tastes a lot like other examples of high-quality Yunnan Gold teas that I've tried.
Pyramid sachets are very aromatic!
Upon brewing, produces a cup with numerous subtle aromas. I initially get caraway and rye in the aroma, but then vanilla and caramel. Underneath, there are cocoa tones. Flavor is extremel...
Japanese Sencha from Bare Tea
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 4th, 2014
I have been drinking this tea for the last few months and it is the best tea I ever drank! I feel more energized and I its satisfying. Finally I found an organic tea that I can taste the green tea leaves. I highly recommend trying the bare tea brand. Also try the apple green tea and massala chai!

Japanese Sencha from Bare Tea
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 30th, 2014
I agree with Alex, I thought this was one of the better bagged Senchas I've had so far. I really enjoyed the fresh grassy smell and the spinachy taste. I brewed it for a short time, so its taste wasn't too overpowering.

I was impressed with this tea; it made a good cup to enjoy on my work break. I thought it had a subdued flavor compared to other English Breakfasts, and it didn't leave a bitter aftertaste.

Style: Sencha – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 2nd, 2014
Definitely among the best senchas (if not the best) that I've ever had from a tea bag!
Flavor is mild and a little brothy. Aroma is slightly toasty, slightly seaweedy.
Easily brews two infusions...the first two cups are outstanding for a tea bag, although they have less of that pleasant sweet grass quality that ...
Masala Chai from Bare Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 9th, 2013
A sample from the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival. After being impressid with this company's English Breakfast, I was eager to try this one. It's enjoyable, but nothing like what I expected. I've tried this several times and can't shake the impression that it tastes and smells strongly of apples, particularly, ...

This tea is pretty good, but it has a slight vegetal flavor that I don't like. It tastes a little green. I added cream and sugar.

This tea has a cinnamon flavor that's kind of overpowering. I can still taste the other flavors, and it tastes okay. Maybe a cinnamon enthusiast would like it better. I added cream and sugar.

Initially sampled at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival, but I'm glad I sampled this on my own because I liked it even more when I brewed it myself. An unusual Keemun with both cooling and warming qualities. Strong enough to be a breakfast tea, but stands out among both other English Breakfasts and other Keemun...
