Honeybush Herbal from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 7th, 2014
The aroma of the dry leaves is woody, sweet, and a little bit sour. It reminds me a bit of sour cherries and melons with a touch of dried bamboo wood and hay
The taste is woody and caramel sweet at first, this fades to a nice dried fruit sourness, again the idea of sour cherries pops to my mind. Honeybush is very mu...
Blueberry White from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 7th, 2014
was greeted with a potent blueberry aroma similar to blueberry jam, it is intensely sweet. Under this strong blueberry aroma there is a nice leafy green, like fresh vegetation and lettuce.
The taste is surprisingly gentle and delicate, I was expecting an explosion of blueberries, instead we have a gentle caress of...
Lady Earl Grey Black from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Blue Flower Earl Grey – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 7th, 2014
The aroma is very much so creamy sweet vanilla, bright bergamot, and malty black tea. Not very complex, but still very nice to sniff.
The taste is not bad! It starts out brisk and lemony, just a touch of bitter like lemon pith, this very quickly passes. Afterwards we get a nice, creamy vanilla and malt taste, it is...
Tropical Sunshine Herbal from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 15th, 2014
It blends the aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, spices, tart, and woodiness in a really interesting blend. The strongest notes were wood, citrus, and pepper, usually I would not think to put them together but the aroma really works.
And now for the real test, how does this unusual blend of ingredients taste? Interest...
Plum Blossom White from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 15th, 2014
The aroma of the dried (and rather fluffy) leaves is rich, a blend of heady jasmine, honey, and candy. Specifically it reminds me of these delicious plum gummies I used to get from my local Korean market back in high school. They were all the rage with my friends and me, they have a distinct fresh plum aroma along wit...

Tahiti Pu'erh from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Flavored Pu-erh – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 8th, 2014
The aroma is a blend of mango sweetness, nutty coconut, and a tiny bit of earthy and metallic Pu'erh. The coconut has a bit of that 'old' coconut oil aroma, it is not off putting and it is very faint.
The taste, oh man, it is so sweet! Very strong notes of mango and papaya. This fades into very strong notes of cocon...
Insomniac's Dream Herbal from Simple Loose Leaf

Jun. 8th, 2014
The aroma is quite minty and also quite lemony. It is very refreshing and wakes me up...hmmm. There are also mild straw and herbaceous notes at the finish.
Tasting this tea was a fun experience. First the sip is sweet, lemony, and warm and then BOOM! Cooling mint that flows through my mouth, esophagus, and into my s...
Sweet Orange White from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 8th, 2014
The aroma is very citrus heavy, it is a little on the artificial side and sadly reminds me of the orange bathroom cleanser I used to use. Underneath the heavy swath of orange there are notes of lettuce and delicate floral.
Tasting the tea sadly confirmed my fear, this tea tastes like air freshener. Now don't get me ...
Yunnan Breakfast Black from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 6th, 2014
he aroma of the dry leaves is a mix of pine resin, pepper, stewed cherries, and an aged oak cask. It smells like fruit, scotch, and smoke-less Lapsang Souchong. What an unusual tea!
This tea is brisk and strong! Breakfast blend is a perfect description because I am certainly awake now. The taste is a blend of molass...
Sleeping Dragon Green from Simple Loose Leaf
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 6th, 2014
The aroma is a blend of chestnut, green bean, and spinach. It reminds me of a very vegetal oolong, or like an oolong tea and a green tea had a clandestine affair and this tea is the result. The aroma is a bit faint, but the notes are pleasant.
The first steep is fairly delicate with notes of toasted sesame and nutty...
