Royal Lapsang Souchong Organic from Bird Pick
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 6th, 2019
Found this in a Chinese market at the mall in Arcadia, CA. They had a huge selection of teas. I picked up a couple of ounces of this. It was priced at $30 per pound.
It is a very dark tea, black actually, and it has a heavy, smoky smell. However, after brewing the flavor is not as intense as you would expect. The br...
English Breakfast from Harney and Sons
Style: English Breakfast – Region: China90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 4th, 2019
This is an excellent breakfast tea. I find a bit of sugar and milk really brings out the mellowness.

Select Yunnan Black from Imperial Tea Court
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 22nd, 2019
The aroma of this tea is clean and straightforward, with a slight pungency that perks you up. The taste is simple, mellow, and lightly sweet. It's a great tea to drink slowly, savoring the richness with every sip. The liquor is fairly dark but that doesn't really detract from the taste.
Although at the lowest end of...
China Silver Needle from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Silver Needle – Region: China35 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 19th, 2019
This is a nice tea to look at, but the flavor is weak and bland. A little nutty taste. No plans to get more of this.

Panyang Congou Select from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Panyang Congou – Region: Fujian, China75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 19th, 2019
I had one called China Panyang Congou from Upton, which is also currently unavailable. I'm guessing this is the same thing. It is very enjoyable and tastes different from most of the teas I can think of. There is a pronounced barley/pumpernickel flavor. I've been brewing beer lately and this reminded me of the taste...

English Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Anhui, China70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 19th, 2019
A bit earthy for my taste. I prefer a lighter breakfast tea, but this is still well worth the brew, especially with milk and sugar.

Kind of like a breakfast tea with a hint of cocoa flavor

An excellent tea, with good balance between the flavors and aromas. A bit on the pricey side.

Organic Green Tea from Uncle Lee's Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China62 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 13th, 2019
This is a very slightly above-average, but not outstanding, bagged green tea available at a price that's hard to top for a non-store brand (about $8 for a 100-count box online, or at stores such as Wal-Mart). Fortunately, I procured a fairly new, sealed 100-ct box at an estate sale for a buck, so *my* value was unrepr...

Osmanthus Oolong Se Chung from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Osmanthus Tea – Region: China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 13th, 2019
A pleasant cup - the floral notes blend well with the tea. Oolong and flowers makes for an odd but effective combination.

China Keemun First Grade from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Keemun – Region: China65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 13th, 2019
This is a pretty mellow but still flavorful Chinese black tea. A little nutty and smoky, and offered at a good price.

Organic Gunpowder from Upton Tea Imports

Feb. 13th, 2019
Fairly bland Chinese dark green tea. Being organic is not always enough, apparently.

China Congou Panyang (Panyong) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Panyang Congou – Region: China75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 13th, 2019
Didnt like this at first but it has grown on me. It is best warm-hot not piping hot - that allows the full nuanced flavor to come out. Earthy with a little citrus.

Organic Black Tea from Prince of Peace
Style: Black Tea – Region: Yunnan, China61 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 1st, 2019
I found this box of tea at a natural health store on my lunch hour. Most places that carry Prince of Peace tea don't carry black tea, so I grabbed them. The 100 tea bags are individually wrapped in paper, so I transferred them to an airtight container after removing the plastic seal from the box.
The unbleached pape...
Special Grade Temple of Heaven Gunpowder Green from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: China75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 23rd, 2019
A good inexpensive Chinese green. Fairly sharp and peppery on the palate. The earthy, leafy aroma is quite nice. You could certainly do worse at this price.

Jan. 22nd, 2019
This is a perfectly good Lapsang Souchong. Smoky and lightly bitter, but not harsh. Slightly aromatic finish.

Jan. 18th, 2019
I'm no big fan of this tea. This tea is not for me..... Anywho! I don't know what I was expecting. The taste of a prince, the taste of a wale... It did not taste like either. Trust me, I know.

An earthy oolong that is good for multiple infusions.

China Jasmine Da Zhang Select Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China35 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 18th, 2019
An attractive tea with a nice scent but it lacks jasmine flavor. I have had other jasmines from UT that I liked more.
Golden Monkey from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Golden Monkey – Region: Yunnan, China86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 10th, 2019
This tea was more pleasant than interesting. I liked it a lot, but found it hard to write as much about it. I also thought it was slightly overpriced.
Dry leaf is very pretty (like many of Murchie's teas, their photo doesn't do it justice, so I took one of my own), with bright golden-orange tips against a dark backg...
Jasmine Pearls from The Tao of Tea
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: Hunan, China82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 3rd, 2019
Lovely jasmine pearl tea. The hand rolled pearls open gently as it brews. The taste is delicate—not as grassy or as floral as a few of the other jasmine greens out there. Nice tea that is smooth and easily drinkable.

Blood Pressure from Triple Leaf Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: China37 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 1st, 2019
Seeing the questionable claims made by some wellness-tea makers, including this one on its site, raises my blood pressure. That rather opposes the stated intent of this tea! Fortunately that effect is temporary. It's wise to heed the last part of RateTea's description of Triple Leaf: "Some of this company's product...

China Green Tips Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China79 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 16th, 2018
Even though this isn't a Stash tea, it was well stashed—just a couple packets jammed discreetly in the middle of a bunch of bags of Bigelow Green at a conference, and only the first morning. Fortunately I noticed and grabbed them: one for there, one to bring home.
I'm not much for detecting subtleties, and pro...
China WuYi Mountain Tea from Organic Herbie
Style: Green Tea – Region: China78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 4th, 2018
After being disappointed with Organic Herbie's other teas, I was a bit apprehensive about trying this, but I turned out to like it a surprising amount. I also notice an inconsistency in the marketing: the description says it is grown in the Wuyi mountains, which are located in Fujian province, but the website says that...

Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 4th, 2018
The dry tea in the bag is chopped quite fine, but smells really nice. Once the water's added, the aroma of the young tips comes through very clearly, smelling very similar to silver needle white teas.
The first taste is surprisingly sweet with a strong vegetal finish. The flavor is strong even while hot, but there's...
