Harmonic Mint from Teavana
Style: Mint Tea – Region: Blend58 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 21st, 2024
Teavana takes a blend of spearmint and peppermint, dashes in a dollop of lemon verbena, and offers it now in teabags. Given the apparently identical ingredients, I strongly suspect this is a renaming or reincarnation of the former "Mint Majesty Full Leaf Tea Sachets" rated here seven years ago by Bob Downs. It gave o...

English Breakfast (tea bags) from Teavana
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 12th, 2024
Another bagged offering arrives from Teavana's latest comeback push, which finds its teas (including this one) in late 2024 in online stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, and even Staples (where the price was lowest as of this writing, but still around $12 for a 24-ct box).
I used an average of the retail prices ...
Modern Earl Grey from Teavana
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 1st, 2024
After a phase of pyramidal sachets in covered plastic cups a few years ago, Teavana seems to have been reconstituted yet again—this time as a line of individually wrapped bagged teas on the target-audience level of Tazo or Stash, but costlier. At a conference, I saw several new Teavana offerings, and took samples ho...

Soothing Strawberry Oolong from Teavana
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 7th, 2020
Full transparency. This was a sealed tin from years ago. Since Teavana is no longer selling this, I’m not worried about skewing their sales numbers.
Aroma: This seems like a pretty oxidized oolong. A. It musty, earthy, and a touch vegetal. The strawberry is a note but very mild in the mix.
Flavor: Medium body...
Earl Grey Crème Black Tea from Teavana
Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 11th, 2019
This is my favorite Earl Grey Cream tea yet, and that's not a knock on Murchie's excellent rendition, which is a better value but just a notch below Teavana in richness.
Teavana has undergone a remaking of its marketing and strategy under the Starbucks banner: no more stand-alone tea shops, just 15-sachet plastic t...
Jade Citrus Mint from Teavana
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 2nd, 2018
Wow, am I ever ignorant. After rating a hundred-some-odd teas, I only just discovered by accidental click that I can rate teas on RateTea that have retired! Except...it ain't really retired anymore. This one and at least few others from Teavana have come back like that mythical phoenix. A set of 15-sachet plastic j...

Darjeeling de Triomphe Black Tea from Teavana
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 27th, 2018
I will likely revise this review after a few more times trying this tea. It seems high quality with a grassy quality, but I can’t decide how I feel about the bitter undertones. I generally am not a fan of bitter teas. To be fair, it might be a fault of my brewing. I do overall enjoy this tea, though, so long as it is...

Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 14th, 2018
I received this tea as part of a tea trade(4 ounces of this) for free, and am really enjoying this. I'd say it tastes very similar to Harney and sons' jasmine pearls with a slightly less dominant jasmine taste. The aroma is amazing and is almost purely jasmine. The flavor is sweet and of jasmine but can turn bitter/soa...

I became a tea lover a few years ago.. my son introduced me to Teavana stores and my love of this tea. I had quite a stash of my vacuum packed yes and now have learned Teavana is gone--so sad where an I buy my teas now?
This tea is an experience --brewing, learning and just enjoying this and visiting the store ...wha...

Very vegetal, high caffeine/theanine concentration, good to wake-up or get focused and concentrate. One of my favorite!

Gingerbread Black Tea from Teavana
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 14th, 2018
I got this tea for 16$ in an 8-ounce tin during a closing sale, so for me, the value was more of a 4.0(80 total rating if accounted for). One thing I did notice was these large popcorn pieces that add little to no flavor to the blend which were used as a filler, but this only took up about 5-10% of the container. But T...

Youthberry White Tea from Teavana
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
First, this tea is a terrible value and barely contains any white tea. I honestly doubt there is more than 1/4 white tea in this. The flavor is extremely sour and reminds me of cranberry juice, and the aroma is quite nice. But for the value, this tea is terrible.

White Chocolate Peppermint Rooibos from Teavana
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
This is a great smelling tea. A very smooth peppermint. But when I took a sip of it, i was greeted by the taste of what I describe as toothpaste. Also, the tea is almost 130 dollars a pound. (although I bought it at a 50% off sale) Which is absolutely ridiculous for a rooibos tea that half of isn't even rooibos. I'd re...

One of my favourite green teas. Doesn't go bitter (leave for less than two minutes) and it tastes so smooth and nice. It is my go to tea in Starbucks these days.

Lavender Creme from Teavana

Oct. 11th, 2017
I got this on sale and, as of today, it's still on the sale price on their website. Hence, this one gets a better "value" rating from me than most Teavana teas.
I love the aroma of this tea. I always enjoy lavender, and the caramel adds just the right kind of sweetness. In fact, when I noticed the caramel bits in th...

Oct. 9th, 2017
Very fresh vegetables taste with light seeds at the end. This Shincha has deep green color of rolled leaves and clean and very light green color of infusion slightly sweet, with a refreshing aroma and seeds, taste at the end. this means a high concentration of L-Theanine.

Jasmine Oolong Tea from Teavana

Aug. 25th, 2017
This is a sweet floral tea with a longer than average steeping time - but it is worth the wait. A little overpriced as you are paying Teavana's marketing department - but I like it - I can enjoy this equally hot or iced and I don;t sweeten it. The aroma is just wonderful - even better than the taste (to me).

How can one cup of tea make me simultaneously frustrated and at ease? This maté blend is the perfect equilibrium between crudity and finesse!

So expensive but fun and tasty. A novel-tea. (Pun intended). I am a big jasmine fan - but there are better ones out there. Still, I liked it. I like this one even better than Teavana's Jasmine Oolong (I love greens!). Boith are good choices for hot or iced enjoyment.

Beach Bellini from Teavana

Jan. 27th, 2017
I really enjoyed this one! It was a gift from my roommate, so thank you!
The dried fruits in this blend were intensely aromatic, just opening the bag resulted in an explosion of aroma, mostly tropical fruit with hints of citrus, the smell strongly suggests sweetness, and there's a hint of spice in the aroma. The in...
Wild Orange Blossom Herbal Tea from Teavana

Jan. 1st, 2017
Very nice tea. Fruit forward in the aroma and flavor but a floral note lingers. I added a spoon of rock sugar to bring out some of the nuance. Certainly not inexpensive as a teavana product but I'd recommend.

This is a very nice tea. The trick is to rein in it's flavor, because it is VERY strong.
I typically brew half the amount of leaf I would normally. Cast iron, 1.5 - 2 minutes. Keep water cooler (75-80*C).
1st steep: Vegetal and grassy with a hint of sweetness and a touch of smokiness. An intense freshness.

Pineapple Kona Pop Herbal Tea from Teavana
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 27th, 2016
I go through this stuff fairly quickly. It's sweet but not sugary, aromatic but benign enough to be useful in a number of different drinking contexts, and it's fruity-- fruitily tart, one might say, but neither sour nor aggressive. Well-balanced, one might say.
In the summer, I cold-brew it in 24 oz. mason jars like...
