Jasmine Citrus Green Tea from Teavana

Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend

65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 12th, 2026

Jasmine green tea, flavored also with lemongrass, was a novel and interesting idea in my tea-chugging experience, and Teavana products are generally known for solid quality. As such, I did not hesitate a microsecond to grab an extra bag from a hotel's tea rack to test out.

The dry aroma was more lemony than jasmi...

Hibiscus Spice from Teavana

Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend

78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 27th, 2026

Hibiscus Spice tastes like its title promises, and that's a good thing. The blend uses a sweet, smooth hibiscus as the main flavor, with cinnamon, apple, and perhaps cloves (all flavors I enjoy), in that order. It yields a delicious, non-caffeinated cup of warming fruit tea that should make a splendid wintertime bedt...

Classic Chai from Teavana

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend

79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 19th, 2026

Risen like a phoenix thanks to its Starbucks ties, the Teavana brand has rolled out an assortment of bagged teas available in online versions of retailers like Amazon (to where Teavana's website links point) and Wal-Mart, and found in some hotels and conference centers for guest breakfast areas and catering of meetings...

Chamomile Blush from Teavana

Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend

33 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 6th, 2025

Chamomile Blush will make one blush all right—not for the usual reasons, but from the shame or embarrassment of paying so much for such a weak, weird tea.

The stated ingredients are simple enough: chamomile, spearmint, rose, and lemongrass. The result is a disjointed, odd combination of flavors that, in my exp...

Radiant Green from Teavana

Style: Green Tea – Region: China

60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 23rd, 2024

How can a green tea be radiant? Is it radioactive, glowing green? Fortunately, the answer is, "No. It's just a name."

This is another in a line of Teavana bagged teas that now come with fairly typical folded bag, string and tag, and is overpriced by a factor of two to three for what one gets, on most sites wher...

Ginger Peach from Teavana

Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend

45 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 30th, 2024

Going off the price listed on Amazon ($15/24-ct box as of this writing), this tea is not worth the trouble. After tasting it, I'm not sure I'll even try it for "free" again at a conference or hotel.

This is supposed to be a ginger- and peach-flavored green tea, which sounds like a good combination, and somewhat sm...

Harmonic Mint from Teavana

Style: Mint Tea – Region: Blend

58 / 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: Blend

75 / 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...

Earl Grey Crème Black Tea from Teavana

Style: Earl Grey Cream – Region: Blend

87 / 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...

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...
