Lemon Ginger Herbal Plus Probiotics from Bigelow Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 20th, 2015
This herbal tea was a little bit odd tasting. I didn't know that it was a probiotic when I tried it; I had it in a cafe.
It didn't taste much at all like any other lemon ginger blends I have tried previously. I can't notice much ginger at all, and the lemon is also mild. I normally like lemon ginger herbal teas b...
Pomegranate Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 12th, 2014
Thank you to my friend Liz for sharing this one with me. Take my review in the context that I tend not to like fruit-flavored tea bags, so although my rating number is not great, this is actually a pretty positive review: I'm comparing it against all my favorite loose-leaf artisan teas.
Tea bag smells intensely fru...
Peppermint Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 16th, 2012
I find it interesting that Bigelow offers both this pure peppermint herbal tea, and the mint medley blend. The mint medley is more widely available and I prefer it, because I like spearmint more than peppermint in herbal teas. Both I think are quite good.
There are aspects of this pure peppermint tea that I like b...
Green Tea - Classic from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 12th, 2012
It's funny, the other reviewers comment on how they've had this one in office buildings, and I also have memories of drinking it in an office too.
Recognizable as a Chinese tea (some brands, like Twinings, use Japanese tea or at least a Japanese style of tea for their basic green tea), but otherwise somewhat generic...
Constant Comment Decaffeinated from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 26th, 2010
I'm not a fan of decaffeinated teas. This tea, drawing most of its characteristic qualities from its flavoring, is a lot better than any unflavored decaf tea I've had. But, it really just strikes me as an herbal orange spice blend with some dark color and muted bitterness added. In fact, Bigelow makes a pretty good ...

Red Raspberry Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????27 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 13th, 2010
Brews a very deep puplish red color, just like a ripe red raspberry. Aroma is artificial and fruity, candy-like. More like a raspberry-flavored life saver candy than tea. Slightly sweet, even without adding anything. Thankfully, not too sour, even with the main ingredient hibiscus. This is much milder than pure hi...

English Breakfast Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 2nd, 2010
In my opinion, this is the best straight black tea from Bigelow and it really stands out among the rest of their offerings. It's a fairly powerful black tea, but it also has some complexity in the aroma...some of the tones suggest that there's a bit of Darjeeling mixed in with whatever else is this blend.
Fairly bi...
Organic Pure Green Tea (Premium Green Tea Organic) from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 29th, 2010
Brewed for 4 minutes with water that had cooled well below boiling, it brews an opaque golden color.
Aroma is mostly flat. There's a hint of a very pleasant floral quality, but it's overshadowed by a cardboard-like quality that basically ruins it for me. Ignoring the aroma, the flavor is good. Slightly tangy, wit...
Constant Comment® from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 25th, 2010
In my opinion this is the best among Bigelow's flavored teas, although my favorite from Bigelow is one of their herbals--sweet dreams.
It's funny, I tend not to like orange spice teas, but I like this one. It's balanced: none of the aromas overpower the others. There's a nice amount of strength and bitterness, but...
Darjeeling Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2009
Definitely recognizable as Darjeeling...fairly smooth, with only some astringency lingering towards the bottom of the cup. Weak aroma, not terribly complex, but pleasant. Much lighter than most of Bigelow's other black teas. This was enjoyable, although noticeably less so than other more pricey Darjeelings I've had ...

Chinese Oolong from Bigelow Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: China40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 8th, 2009
A darker oolong, somewhat nondescript. No objectionable qualities but overall weak and not very interesting. Not much of the complexity that I expect. I think this one lags behind the quality of Bigelow's flavored teas.
In tea bags of a similar price range, I think Ten Ren offers better oolongs, and they have sev...
Vanilla Chai Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Vanilla Chai – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 25th, 2009
The spices actually blend pretty well and in spite of the artificial flavoring, this tea is much more natural tasting than I had expected. No noticeable tea aroma, just vanilla and some spice. Creamy and smooth.
I would appreciate a stronger tea presence and perhaps more spice.
English Teatime from Bigelow Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2009
Aroma is mellow, warm, and keemun-like. But this tea is much more bitter and astringent than most keemuns--unpleasantly so. The bitterness sinks to the bottom of the cup, leaving an unpleasant surprise ending to a tea that starts out very smooth.
I recommend brewing this one briefly, only a minute or two, for best...
Lemon Lift Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Lemon Black Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2009
One thing I love about this tea is that it's lemony without being sour, which is something you cannot achieve by squeezing a lemon into your black tea.
I don't really notice the spice that much, but that's ok with me. The black tea is weak and nondescript. I would appreciate a richer and more complex aroma to the ...
Cozy Chamomile® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 18th, 2009
I find this is among the better of the chamomiles you can buy in any supermarket, and also among the better Bigelow teas. Although the aroma is a bit weaker than some other brands, the aftertaste is cleaner and more pleasant. Very smooth flavor.

Jasmine Green Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2009
The floral scent is much weaker than in some Jasmines but it's pleasant; this is a very smooth tea, without the bitterness or astringency that plagues many of the cheaper teabag Jasmines. My only complaint is that I wish the aroma were overall stronger, both of the tea and the Jasmine.

Cinnamon Apple Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 17th, 2009
Aroma mostly of apple, with some cinnamon. Unlike the other Bigelow herbal teas, this tea is only good for a single infusion, after which it loses nearly all its flavor. If you like apples you may like this one but it doesn't really do much for me...it seems a bit thin.

Orange & Spice Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 17th, 2009
True to the name, the aroma of orange and spice--is it cloves I notice? Thankfully, not much cinnamon, and not too sour. This is not my favorite of the Bigelow herbal teas but it is among the ones I prefer.
In many respects this tea is like an herbal version of Constant Comment. The main difference is that this b...
Mint Medley® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 17th, 2009
Aroma is dominantly peppermint, the spearmint isn't really that noticeable. There are a few other non-mint things noticeable; I'd prefer this tea just use mint, and go a little lighter on the peppermint; this comes across as too similar to a pure peppermint tea for my tastes, and if I want that, I'd rather drink a tea...

I Love Lemon® & C Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 17th, 2009
Very lemoney. A bit too sour but I'm thankful it's not more so. A few other things going on in the aroma but it's still mostly lemon. Not my favorite choice of herbal tea but perfectly drinkable.

Plantation Mint® Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Black Tea with Mint – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 27th, 2009
Aroma is candy-like and flavor is very smooth. While this pales in comparison to brewing quality black tea together with fresh spearmint, it's enjoyable.
The black tea isn't the best quality and has only a weak aroma, but the spearmint is quite aromatic. There's no bitterness or astringency, even if you let it bre...
Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 27th, 2009
A decent Earl Grey in teabags. Very fresh tasting, with a bold beragmot presence. The black tea is strong but a bit generic. Fairly bitter, with some astringency; it's possible to brew this too long.
I strongly prefer this to Twinings.
Sweet Dreams Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 19th, 2009
This has always been my favorite of Bigelow's herbal teas. I don't find it particularly sleep-inducing; it's soothing but has some bite to it and tends to make me feel perky even though it doesn't contain caffeine.
The aroma is surprisingly nuanced; the peppermint and chamomile are the dominant tones, but the other...
