English Teatime from Bigelow Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????61 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 24th, 2018
Trying this tea 24 hours after "English Breakfast" and under nearly identical circumstances, I had a hard time telling the difference between the two. This one left less of an aftertaste (strength, and for sure duration) but was a little more bitter. Since the aftertaste of the other tea wasn't bad, the "more bitter"...

English Breakfast Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????66 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 23rd, 2018
Pulled from a hotel breakfast stash (lower-case, not the tea brand), I brought a bag home to chug in my usual well water. Dry-bag and in-cup aroma were feeble, as has been my experience with most Bigelow teas (except Constant Comment, a major favorite). The brew got dark fairly quickly, tasting pleasant enough, rather...

Green Tea with Pomegranate from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????62 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 1st, 2018
Mistakenly and distracted by engaging conversation, I grabbed a couple of bags at a conference, thinking this was straight green Bigelow tea as typically served, without looking carefully at the little red strip declaring, "with pomegranate". I still didn't notice upon ripping open the wrapper, dropping bag into cup a...

Cozy Chamomile® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 20th, 2018
Not a lot to say about this tea, it tasted like chamomile but wasn't anything to write home about. Its perfectly drinkable, but nothing special.

Ginger Snappish™ Herbal Tea with Lemon from Bigelow Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????90 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 18th, 2018
I'm in love. Can't help it, this tea is wonderful. The first time I tried it I swore I was literally drinking a liquid version of a cookie. I bought it on a whim and after trying it immediately regretted not buying every box in the store before the holiday season had passed. Now I have to play the waiting game to see i...

Pomegranate Pizzazz® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 18th, 2018
When I opened the foil pack, it smelled incredible. The hibiscus flavor kind of overpowers the rest of it. Its not bad, but I don't really think pomegranate when I drink it. It kind of reminds me of a weaker, gentler ,and sweeter version of hibiscus tea.
I got it from a Bigelow sampler pack, and would be willing to...
Earl Grey from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 20th, 2017
This Earl Grey Tea is one of my favorites. I *never* steep this tea for more than 2-2.5 minutes. I like the fact that it takes less time to steep than other brands and I still get the caffeine and taste that I expect from Earl Grey.
However it isnt overly caffeinated, but this is another reason I like it. Sometimes ...
Green Tea - Classic from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 3rd, 2017
Several bags of this tea have been sitting around my pantry for up to a year after bringing them home from a professional conference, occasionally consumed either alone or teamed with a bag of peppermint. Finally I'm thinking to rate it!
Where I grew up, a troublesome percentage of fellow youth sniffed glue, paint ...
Earl Grey Decaffeinated Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????95 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 25th, 2017
This is my favorite decaf tea. It tastes a lot like the regular version to me, since the main thing that characterizes this tea is the bergamot flavor - strong but not overpowering, and blends well with the tea. I always brew it for a minute or two longer than the regular, about 6 minutes, and at this strength I can ba...

Green Tea with Peach from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 25th, 2017
Bigelow's peach-flavored green tea pleasantly surprised me. I had rated their "Perfect Peach" herbal blend slightly lower, primarily because of the artificial flavoring that partly tastes that way.
The quality of the green tea seems good, and brews up a rich, deep amber in-cup. Some finely powdered sediment even fe...
Perfect Peach® Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 14th, 2017
I tried a peach tea that has some artificial flavoring. Here's what happened.
[Sorry, clickbait haters...couldn't resist...first, a backstory...]
For several years, my wife has used this, in combination with at least two other brands of peach tea and some black tea, to make a thoroughly delicious peachy iced tea...
Lemon Lift® Decaffeinated Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 28th, 2017
The dry teabag smells mostly of cinnamon. There's a hint of citrus, but not near what I was expecting from the name.
Adding the hot water releases a distinct and pleasant lemon scent, but cinnamon is still the dominant aroma.
The taste is yet different. It definitely tastes of lemon oil or peel and is much strong...
Green Tea - Classic from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????45 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 19th, 2017
This is a tea I've been drinking after coming home from work. It's OK. Seems to have a very dark color, close to black tea. Not much flavor so I always put a spoonful of honey in this.

Jun. 20th, 2017
This tea isn't really the best, honestly. While compared to stronger earl greys such as twinnings, it just...doesn't cut it. If you're used to drinking stronger teas, you may want to actually brew longer or even add another bag. The citrus taste also felt weird and unnatural, not really blending well with the other fla...

Peppermint Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 13th, 2017
It's no big secret that I love peppermint, given that it pops up in my review docket almost as profusely as it does as a weed in cooler parts of the nation. As noted in one of my other reviews of a peppermint tea (Stash), it's hard, but possible, to screw up this herb as a tea.
Bigelow didn't screw this up. Thei...
French Vanilla Decaffeinated Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: ?????30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
May. 9th, 2017
Opening the foil pouch releases the scent of vanilla and cream, like custard or eggnog. Adding the water makes the aroma overpowering. This is decaf, so there is probably little tea aroma. Even if there were any, though, it would be completely masked by the flavoring.
The flavoring has a rich sweetness to it, but th...
Orange & Spice Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 30th, 2017
I recently tried some decaf Constant Comment and liked the orange and spice blend, so I tried this. This blend is, in a word, disappointing. Orange & Spice is much heavier on the cinnamon and while I can taste the clove if I look for it, it's very much a background flavor. I don't smell or taste the orange at all. This...

Constant Comment Decaffeinated from Bigelow Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 27th, 2017
The teabags smell really nice to me. The heaviest components are orange and clove. Adding water intensifies the aroma and brings out hints of cinnamon and sweet spice (cardamom? nutmeg?) in the background. The orange and spice overpower any recognizable tea aroma.
The flavor is dominated by clove with a taste that r...
Green Tea Decaffenated (Classic) from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 3rd, 2017
It's apparently easier to decaffeinate green tea and still have some flavor than it is black tea. One thing I've learned about decaf greens, though, is to use hotter water than one would for the caffeinated varieties. Conventional wisdom for green tea is to use cooler water and shorter steeping times to keep from cooki...

Mar. 30th, 2017
In previous reviews, many have dubbed this as an "office tea" as it's readily available in offices, apparently. I don't work in an office, so I guess I wouldn't know. However, this tea is not available at any local supermarkets. My local Wal-mart does not sell this, nor does my McKinnon's. I actually had to acquire thi...

Mar. 28th, 2017
Upon opening the pouch, the teabag smells pungently of bergamot. Unlike Twinings, this tea seems scented with only bergamot and no other citrus. Immediately after brewing, the aroma of bergamot is still strong but, like most decaf black teas, there is little noticeable tea aroma. There's a little mustiness that may rep...

A hotel in northwest Dallas had bags of this tea on its breakfast area, so I tried a couple -- one there in (what is some of the consistently highest quality nationwide) city water and one at home in my own well water. In both instances, my impression of this tea is simple and straightforward: "Constant Comment" minu...

Meh. Not impressed. You are better off brewing your favorite green tea and squeezing fresh lemon into it. I do not care for lemon in my green tea - unless it is iced. That said, Bigelow is inexpensive (and in my office - provided for free - in bags and K-cups) and accessible. An average, inoffensive green tea.

Vanilla Chai Black Tea from Bigelow Tea

Dec. 30th, 2016
One of the things I enjoy with either newly attempted teas, or favorite and familiar ones, is to breathe deeply from the freshly opened packaging and take in the scent of the dried tea. Since this concoction is labeled as vanilla with chai, I had a very well-defined, preconceived notion of how this would smell. Not e...
