Pure White Tea from Twinings
Style: White Tea – Region: Fujian, China45 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 11th, 2025
It's cool when the host of an AirBnB leaves a variety of teas, and even cooler when one is a new tea for me to try.
Unfortunately, even for white tea, this was underwhelming overall. The dry-bag aroma may have been the best part: mild, but somewhat floral, yet distinctively tea-dominant, as if this would be a del...
Radiant Green from Teavana
Style: Green Tea – Region: China60 / 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...
Asian Jasmine 100% White Tea from Republic of Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 19th, 2024
I enjoyed this slightly floral (jasmine) and very white, simple tea. Very good on it's own - I prefer it hot. Not enough body for an iced tea. I did add a bit of maple syrup to it, but it is fine unsweetened, too. I like it.

Ning'er "Golden Honey Aroma" Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Simao, Yunnan, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 13th, 2024
I really enjoyed this tea, although it was not my favorite-of-all-favorites. It grew on me somewhat as I drank it more. I'd put it towards the category of "my least favorite among my most favorite types of tea" if that makes sense? Like it breaks into the top category but only barely.
The leaf is quite beautiful, I'...
Ning'er "Golden Honey Aroma" Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Simao, Yunnan, China75 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2024
The aroma is pleasant and bready , it has a good classic black tea smell. The taste is good however slightly on the mellow side. It has a good thick bodied richness to it. Overall it’s a pretty decent cup of tea and it is a good value because for a high end tea it’s pretty cheap!

First Grade Gunpowder Green from Upton Tea Imports

Jun. 5th, 2024
There is not much flavor here, but there are no unpleasant flavors or aromas either. I have certainly had stronger gunpowder teas, but this one is very easy to drink, and offered at a low price.

Classic Yunnan aroma, nice earthy/spice. Mild flavor, not acidic or sharp, slightly sweet after taste. Liquor (5 min steep) honey brown with a slight redness. For me, easy to sip. Overall, a good pick.

Good Yunnan aroma, nice earthiness/wood. The liquor (5min steep) is a wonderful honey. Taste is a solid Yunnan, with a slight sweetness (peach?) after taste. The leaves are black and tan. I would enjoy this tea anytime during the day.

The aroma is a mild earthiness with a hint of classic Yunnan. The liquor (5min steep) is a nice amber. Mild flavor with no out standing notes. Enjoyable, but it would not be my first choice from this company.

Mao Feng Green Tea from Teapigs
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Anhui, China79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 6th, 2024
I've only chugged one other green tea of the Mao Feng type (a Tazo bagged offering), and enjoyed that, so I figured I'd try a bigger-leaf, sacheted version. This is one of the best green teas I've had, lots of personality, and mostly worth the slight premium one pays when shoveling a stack of bills across the counter ...

Mango & Bergamot (Teabags) from Whittard of Chelsea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: China61 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 5th, 2023
Here's the first in a gift set of bagged teas I'm trying from Whittard. "Value" is hard to judge due to the innate premium that goes with multi-pack samplers. Surprisingly, I got this at World Market for less than the Whittard website's stated U.S. price! As of this writing, Whittard apparently doesn't sell the teab...

Lapsang Souchong Black Dragon from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 31st, 2023
This has a lot of woodsmoke/cigar tobacco in the aroma and the flavor. There is a something else in there too, some woody and savory notes, enough so that I began to wonder if I was drinking some kind of sausage beverage and not a tea (lol). But this black dragon is all about the smoke, which is something that I enjoy...

Jinjunmei Thé Noir from D.M.D Bridge

Sep. 27th, 2023
This was one of the better teas I've bought in-person in a long time, and was quite delicious, but was still disappointing, especially in terms of value, relative to similar teas I have bought online, particularly in that it did not resteep well.
I bought this tea at a Local Vietnamese Grocery Store. The dry leaf lo...
Jasmine Tea from Fujian Tea Import & Export Co, Ltd.
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Fujian, China50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 15th, 2023
I have been seeing this tea around for years, its mustard-colored tins are commonly available in Chinese food shops. My most recent container of it seemed fairly dry and grassy, with less jasmine flavor than it had in the past. Or perhaps my tastebuds may have changed a bit over time. As a budget priced jasmine tea, it...

Aug. 23rd, 2023
The aroma reminds my of wheat toast with a slight sweetness (grapes?) in the background. The liquor is a pleasant clear brown (5 min steep). The flavor is very enjoyable, with an almost dueling after taste, peppery with a hint of sweet. I am going to enjoy this tea.

Snow Chrysanthemum Flower Tea- Xue Ju Hua Cha from Teasenz
Style: Chrysanthemum Tea – Region: China95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 4th, 2023
A robust kind of chrysanthemum tea, love this especially in the autumn and winter season, but is quite good to as an ice tea in the summer. I only use 1.5g of tea per mug, as just a few flowers release already a lot of flavour!

Bi Luo Chun from Teasenz

Jun. 24th, 2023
Lovely seaweedy and nutty flavour. The tea leaves are very delicate and when steeped they show a nice vibrant green colour. Due to the small leaves the flavour releases quickly. I steeped 5 grams of this tea in a gaiwan for 10 seconds for the first 3 steeps and afterwards I increased it gradually. Could enjoy around 12...

Jun. 24th, 2023
A very fragrant tea and consists of tea leaves and a fair amount of buds. The jasmine aroma balances well with the green tea base. The tea soup has a nice creamy texture. The value is decent, there are cheaper jasmine teas out there, but not at such quality.

Steeped 5 gram of this green tea at 85ºC for 10 seconds in a gaiwan for the first 3 steeps, and afterwards, I gradually increased the steeping time by 5 seconds per steep. Unlike like green teas such as maofeng and anjibai, this green tea is savoury and robust with sweet, nutty, and vegetal notes. Excellent value for ...

WuYi Mtn. Oolong Tea (Wuyi Oolong) from Foojoy
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 6th, 2023
I bought a box of 25 tea bags in an Asian grocery store. The bags are individually sealed in foil and filled with finely chopped pieces of tea. Upon opening the foil pouch, the tea smells recognizably as a roasted oolong.
The brewed tea is unremarkable, but it tastes quite nice. It has a mild bitterness that is bala...
Organic Pineapple Passion Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: China65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 5th, 2023
A mild, fruity green tea. The pineapple comes thru clearly, but I was not picking up much maracuja. Nice aroma of citrus and calendula flowers. On screen this seems like it would be a good iced tea, but my guess is it is not robust enough. This could use a little more uumph, but it is a perfectly pleasant tea.

I am very pleased with this ginger-citrus flavored Sencha by Arbor. Made with all organic and natural ingredients (tea, orange peel, ginger, calendula petals, natural flavors), it has a pleasant flavor and a nice citrus aroma. The ginger dominates the taste, but it is well complimented by the flavor of fresh oranges,...
