Decaffeinated Green Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
May. 21st, 2014
Yesterday I tried the Organic Green Tea from Trader Joe's and I thought it was terrible, and poured it out. I was expecting this tea to be even worse, as it's decaf, and was completely floored to find that I actually liked it better.
I noticed as soon as I took out the tea bag that it was more aromatic...I could ac...
Organic Green Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Green Tea – Region: Nilgiri, India30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5

I thought this was pretty terrible. Steeped for 3 minutes with 180F degree water.
Cup is almost aroma-less...reminds me a little bit of Bigelow's Green Tea, but I thought less enjoyable. Tastes a lot like some decaf tea...flat. There's some herbaceous quality in the aroma, like celery, a faint honey-like finish, ...
Cinnamon Tempest from Trader Joe's
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

Thank you Jenna for sharing this one with me.
I thought this was impressive, a few steps up in quality from Trader Joe's other teas. The tea bag smells strongly of cinnamon, but it's a very natural, organic-smelling cinnamon, like real cinnamon sticks, not like most flavored teas. The orange and clove is only a hi...
Pomegranate White Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Blend37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 10th, 2012
It's been a while since I tried this so my review is from a fuzzy memory, but I remember this tea blend as being fleetingly fruity and not having much of a strong presence of the base tea at all. Tasted pretty low quality, but then I've been consistently underwhelmed by Trader Joe's teas, so this was not surprising.

White Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: White Tea – Region: China50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 8th, 2011
Brews an amber color. Trader Joe's recommends brewing 1-2 minutes and then discarding. I brewed 5 as I like a stronger cup. The tea was not too strong for me--still milder than many greens or blacks.
Not terribly aromatic, but flavorful. Aroma is like a bai mu dan, but much weaker: mostly of soft grain, with a h...
Well Rested Herbal Tea (Formerly Bed Time Tea) from Trader Joe's
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 18th, 2011
This herbal tea is the first blend I've ever tried that tastes very similar (i.e. in the same style) as Celestial Seasoning's Sleepytime; it's so similar that I'm almost inclined to think of it as a knockoff or imitation.
The aroma is primarily spearmint, with a noticeable chamomile presence. Compared to Celestial ...
Spiced Rooibos Ruby Red Chai from Trader Joe's
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 21st, 2011
Classic spiced chai flavor, but the aroma is mostly of spice without much rooibos. Similar to a masala chai made out of a lighter black tea. Aroma is dominantly of clove, with some cinnamon too. I would appreciate more cardamom presence as well as a stronger presence of the rooibos used as the base. The spice absol...
