Vanilla Caramel Black Tea from Benner Tea Co

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

68 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 19th, 2026

Vanilla Caramel Black Tea comes in holiday packs and advent calendars at ALDI, and is a decent drink for the price, as long as one oversteeps it according to conventional measures.

Upon ripping open the wrapper and sniffing within, the dry aroma was nearly nonexistent, with a faint hint of vanilla tea. This tempe...

Earl Grey Lavender from Benner Tea Co

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 29th, 2025

Interesting tea, a step up from their standard Earl Grey flavor-wise, but hardly any aroma in-cup and almost none in the dry bag. The net effect rendered a slightly lower rating, though if given a rigidly binary choice between the two, I'd take this.

Revolution's version of this, with the same name, is still my fa...

Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend

76 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 19th, 2025

If two words could describe this product, they are "unexpected complexity." As with the other recent Benner ratings, this one came from a 2025 holiday gift pack that apparently has a limited run, though some of these teas have appeared before and may again.

The dry-bag aroma was weak and mostly fruity (pear), but...

Mandarin Ginger Green Tea from Benner Tea Co

Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend

Dec. 14th, 2025

Mandarin Ginger Green Tea is another product from this year's (2025) ribbon-wrapped holiday multipack, and may or may not return in the future. I hope it does. It's fairly good, especially at the price point of 12ยข/bag. Note that this is not the same as Benner's Ginger Green Tea that is advertised on their website....

Dec. 5th, 2025

This is my first from 6-tea holiday variety box purchased at ALDI. Based on the website "ALDI Reviewer," some of the teas have made seasonal appearances before, such as in Advent calendars containing teas and snacks. In case this is seen in time for 2025, they're brought back in future years, or you receive these tea...

Earl Grey from Benner Tea Co

Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend

72 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 30th, 2024

Benner Earl Grey (from ALDI food stores) came across much the opposite to me, on first try, as to the other reviewer: weak on bergamot and OK on tea. In fact, when opening the paper wrapper for each bag and taking a good sniff, I hardly could detect the bergamot, but the tea was obvious in the dry aroma. The bergamo...
