Southern Blends: Watermelon and Honey Flavored Green Tea from Luzianne
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend46 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 12th, 2025
For a tea that seemed promising or at least interesting when spotted on a discount/clearance rack, I soon realized why it may have been cleared from inventory. First, the title of this tea is a little deceiving, because one of the two stated flavors doesn't even appear on the ingredients label, but instead, presumably...

Organic Cup of Calm® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 8th, 2025
This blend includes chamomile, passionflower, lavender flower, as well as catnip, rosemary, peppermint, spearmint, and stevia leaves. That sounds like it should be a pleasant mix to quaff, and indeed it is.
Cup of Calm lacks the disjointed, mulch-like taste of many large-list herbals and medicinals, instead comin...
Pineapple Strawberry from Hawaiian Natural Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend69 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 5th, 2025
This tea came in a 3-blend variety box, with sealed paper wrappers segregated into 3 plastic bags by flavor. Each blend (along with Mango Peach and Passionfruit Orange) also is sold in a 20-bag box unto itself, and purports to imbue the intrepid tea chugger with the spirit of the islands. Since I was there to photogr...

Turmeric Citrus Ginger Herbal Tea from Vahdam Teas
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 3rd, 2025
Another car in a train of new turmeric-based teas by Vahdam, "Turmeric Citrus Ginger Herbal Tea" takes "Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea" and adds a little bit of citrus, but not by much. This makes it a little bit better, but not by much.
The aroma and flavor are basically identical to "Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea" (alr...
Vanilla Chai Black Tea from Great Value
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 27th, 2025
I got some of this tea at a vacation cottage in Hawaii (yes, more Hawaiian teas coming soon..but this first!). I was not impressed at all. The tea smelled pretty nice in dry form, with a lot of vanilla and a little chai, but tasted extremely weak, so that I had to use two bags per cup to get much flavor. Even then, ...

Turmeric Chamomile Herbal Tea from Vahdam Teas
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 15th, 2025
This is a weaker version of Turmeric Ginger that still somehow has chamomile as the main ingredient by mass, but not by aroma nor taste! As such, one may be quite disappointed if expecting turmeric-flavored chamomile. Instead the effect is of faintly chamomile-flavored ginger with turmeric for color and advertisement...

Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea from Vahdam Teas
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 6th, 2025
Turmeric seems to play best with ginger (even though ginger isn't my favorite herb, personally), so I figured to try this first out of a 4-type variety pack of turmeric-based Vahdam herbal teas. I'll review the others here too; they're packaged and cut similarly to this, as appropriate for the herb being blended with ...

English Breakfast from Choice Organic Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 23rd, 2025
When I think of what an English Breakfast tea should taste like, after having a few good-quality loose and bagged brands early on, most others have fallen short. However, this one hit the spot right away at a motel, and a few days later at home too, living up to the standard. It left me wanting to try more of both th...

Tuscan Herbal Lemon from Bromley Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend66 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 20th, 2025
Being biased against lemon in general, I was surprised for the better by this tea, for the most part. I expected a sour product, given the flavor, ingredients (lots of lemony stuff and the hibiscus/rose-hips blend seemingly standard for fruit teas). Instead, in both scent and flavor, this presented a smooth, sweet ve...

Benefits Blueberry & Aloe Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 18th, 2025
This tea smells like blueberries (dry and wet). It tastes like a blend of hibiscus, apples and natural blueberry flavor, which are the first three ingredients. In order the other ingredients are: orange peel, rose hips, elderberries, acerola juice granules, licorice root, aloe vera juice concentrate, blueberries. Ov...

Hibiscus Mint Tea from Nile Valley Teas
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 23rd, 2025
Overall, this is a great choice for non-caffeinated iced tea, especially if brewed up over a few hours as a sun tea.
I got this fine little blend at an H-E-B supermarket in the DFW Metroplex, where several teas reviewed here were purchases that can't be found at any of my usual haunts in Oklahoma. Unlike most tea...
Calm & Relax from Teekanne
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 20th, 2025
This is a pleasant little herb tea that is probably worth grabbing on sale, but not as tasty as a few of Teekanne's many other offerings. Calm and Relax has a long ingredients roster that reminds me a lot of Traditional Medicinals or Yogi teas: cinnamon, orange leaves, rooibos, licorice, honeybush, chamomile, lemon b...

Steep Chamomile Citrus Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 22nd, 2025
Flavored chamomiles can vary a lot in quality, so I figured going in that this blend would have either too little citrus (lemon), rendering it a meekly flavored chamomile, or so much lemon that the chamomile was a distant whisper. Amazingly, they were well-balanced! This was especially true in the aromas, which were ...

Earl Grey Decaf from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend71 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
May. 12th, 2025
Here's another Mighty Leaf blend I got included in a hotel stay, but I'm basing the (way overpriced) value rating on the online cost, over 50¢/bag in 100-ct bulk box! Even for a really good decaf tea, that's probably too steep to steep for most folks, unless one is so desperate for a very good decaf EG that such a la...

Crème Caramel Tea from TWG Tea
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 22nd, 2025
From my first sniff of this tea in TWG's Bangkok shop to the latest chug, I'm struck by the strong resemblance of this flavored rooibos to Murchie's "Cozy Caramel Rooibos." Both use high-quality rooibos with suitably strong flavorings (in this case, as described on TWG's website, "a secret TWG Tea blend of sweet Frenc...

Napoléon Tea from TWG Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend91 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 27th, 2025
Napoléon Tea conquered me, quickly. Of all the samplers I sniffed in TWG's Bangkok store, this was one of the strongest, and certainly the most attractive to me in terms of choosing a priority for which ones to buy. The dry and in-cup aromas weren't quite as intense as the sampler, but still quite mouth-watering.

Singapore Breakfast Tea from TWG Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 12th, 2025
Contrary to the established custom of a "breakfast tea", this isn't just a blend of black teas, or black tea with a mild flavoring. Instead, Singapore Breakfast mixes green tea, black tea, vanilla, and unspecified "rare spices". Given the fruitiness of both the aroma and flavor, and the known pieces in the mix, I sus...

Golden Earl Grey from TWG Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 3rd, 2025
This tea came from a TWG shop in Bangkok, weighed and bagged onsite out of the top 1/4 of a wholesale bucket. As such, it smelled and tasted (and should be!) really fresh, and is excellent in quality on both counts. The dry aroma is quite fruity, more in a berry-like way than citrus, but with the bergamot orange stil...

Yellow Label Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 18th, 2025
I got this tea at an eatery in Bangkok, and also from my daughter who lives there, and brought a bag home to try on the same well water in which I've reviewed other teas here. I'm not convinced it was worth hauling back its couple grams of dry weight in the suitcase.
In every way, this tea struck me as essentiall...
Morning Storm Tea from TWG Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 11th, 2025
This is the first of a handful of loose teas I purchased, for somewhat of a high price (even in the otherwise favorable baht/USD conversion), at TWG's nicely done Emporium Mall store in Bangkok. Now that I'm home, they'll be rotated in behind teas being used up.
Admittedly, I got Morning Storm mainly for the name, ...
Chamomile Blush from Teavana
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend33 / 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...
Peppermint Bark from Great Value
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend59 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 1st, 2025
Peppermint Bark doesn't have much bite, but it's still fairly tasty. Overall, the tea fulfills its mission to replicate the flavor of the candy, with a creamy, smooth, almost savory taste, and a reasonably good balance between the mint and chocolate. That's because cocoa shells and carob are used to flavor the tea, i...

Cocoa Berry Black Tea Blend from Trader Joe's
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2024
The RateTea page for Trader Joe's states, "Many of Trader Joe's teas are experimental and are only available for short runs before being discontinued." Such appears to be the case for this interesting blend, which is specifically advertised on the website as "Limited time only!" as of Dec. 2024. Maybe that's because ...

Maple Toffee from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 9th, 2024
For a thoroughly delicious tea blend, this offering is something of a mystery. Within a couple months after I ordered it last year, Maple Toffee disappeared from the Murchie's website, and hasn't returned in over a year. It's either seasonal, sold out or discontinued. I don't know which, but sadly, am starting to su...

Ginger Peach from Teavana
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend45 / 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...
