Moringa Honey & Vanilla from Miracle Tree
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2026
At just under a quarter per teabag (per online price and retail at an H-E-B store in north Texas), this had better be at least a passably decent product. Most teas I've had made of chopped tree leaves (such as a mango-leaf tea I've got from Thailand) taste like...chopped tree leaves, as if one would run small limbs of...

Ciao Amaretto Tea from Mlesna Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon42 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Feb. 1st, 2026
Two things may factor into this rating, for full disclosure:
1. Not being a drinker of alcoholic beverages, I didn't know what "amaretto" was supposed to taste like, so I can't say how faithfully the tea replicates the flavor of the liqueur.
2. The tea comes from a light-colored, wooden gift box that's co-branded w...
English Earl Grey Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 22nd, 2026
Teavivre took a nice Ceylon black tea, added some bergamot oil, and then put it up for sale at a reasonable price. This is on the light and mellow side, with a good amount of bergamot flavor. Fruity and bright. I would say this as good a reasonably priced EG as can be found anywhere.

Island Coconut Tea from Mlesna Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 26th, 2025
I got this tea in a gift box, made of lightweight wood, stamped with both Mlesna's and Metropolitan's branding, and containing a brick of 25 small teabags (about half the volume of Celestial, Murchie's or other similarly square to rectangular ones) wrapped in a single foil-colored plastic wrapper. Even after looking a...

Kenilworth Estate OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Kandy, Sri Lanka75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 27th, 2025
This is a smooth, easy to drink Ceylon tea. It is versatile - it goes well with milk or lemon, and it would probably be just fine on ice. The aroma is pleasantly earthy. You can't go wrong by choosing this.

Steep English Breakfast Fair Trade Certified Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon78 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 4th, 2025
Surprisingly, this was one of the smoothest and most pleasant flavor experiences I've had with bagged black Ceylon tea, and perhaps Bigelow's best in that category. How much of that resulted from a baseline of lower expectations? Admittedly, most of the "Steep" line hasn't impressed me much, especially considering th...

Style: Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 22nd, 2025
The aroma is sweet, solid Ceylon aroma. The liquor (5 min steep) is a deep brown. Flavor is good, and has a distinct fruit taste ( I get peaches). Overall a good Ceylon. I would add this tea to my regular rotation.

Dimbula BOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Matale, Sri Lanka (Dimbula)65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 26th, 2024
This inexpensive Ceylon offers little to get excited over, for better or worse. It is a fairly standard tea, with some light, woody tannins and a dash of caramel flavor. I noticed that it tasted best at a lukewarm temperature; it is pretty bland when hot. It is good with lemon and sugar, and would probably be fine o...

Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 23rd, 2024
This is pretty robust for a Ceylon tea, with some tannin bite and a woody aroma. It was quite a bit better with milk than with lemon and sugar, which surprised me. With just a little vegan milk added, it makes a very good breakfast style tea. My intention in buying this was to mix it with a Darjeeling for iced tea (...

Royal Vinter from Gevalia
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 7th, 2023
Given the ingredients, I expected this expressly stated (on the box) seasonal offering to be a nice hybrid of a mild chai and a traditional "Christmas tea". Instead it had a nice but understated taste all its own.
The dry bag didn't have much aroma, but what I could detect involved modest allspice and cloves, lay...
Ceylon Black Organic Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 21st, 2023
I first came across Arbor Teas here on RT, decided to give them a try, and I'm glad I did. This is a bright, drinkable Ceylon. It is cut rough, and has a fresh, smooth, lightly fruity flavor. I found it enjoyable with either milk or lemon and sugar, and I am confident it would be good on ice too. The 7 oz bags are b...

Apr. 20th, 2023
This tea has a mild aroma that reminds me of an Assam. The liquor (5 min steep) produces a deep rich brown color. The flavor, matches the aroma, mild Assam like. Slight maltiness. This would a good 'sip all day' choice. Might be too mild for milk or sugar.

Ceylon Blackwood Estate Organic Black Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 1st, 2022
The aroma has a light sweetness. The taste has a slight sweet honey like flavor, that lingers on the tongue. The liquor (5 mins) is a appealing golden/honey. I would say this a solid all day tea.

May. 9th, 2022
The aroma is a mild sweet, I'm reminded of honey. The flavor is 'clean', with a slight sweet after taste that for me does not linger on the tongue. The liquor brews (5 min) to a pleasant medium brown. Very enjoyable.

Nice mild earthy aroma. The liquor brews to a light amber (5 mins). Nice mild OP taste. Easy to sip. For me, it would be too mild for sugar or cream. Classic Ceylon.

The aroma is a medium woodsy. Dark, twisted leaves. The liquor, after a five minute steep, is a very dark brown. Flavor is good, with a mild spicy after taste. This tea will be added to my regular rotation. Easy to sip all day.

Super Ceylon Cardamom Gold from Alghazaleen Tea (Do Ghazal)
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 28th, 2021
Cup at home, made from fine dark brown and black leaves of Ceylon. Pours slightly hazy dark copper brown. Clear aroma of black tea leaves, malty with notes and touches of cardamom. Ditto flavour, although the malty notes are less pronounced than in the aroma. Bitter, astringent but not aggressive, palate, with a leafy ...

F.B.O.P. No. 1 from Alwazah Tea (Swan Brand)
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 22nd, 2021
This was another fantastic find at a local middle-eastern store. I am already a huge fan of Ahmad and Alghazaleen teas, and this was another tea in the same genre, yet with some interesting differences from those. Of those teas, this one tasted most similar to Ahmad's Ceylon OPA, but I liked it better.
The dry leaf ...

Feb. 21st, 2021
This is a wonderful classic cup of tea to enjoy in the mornings. It is smooth and easy to drink and it is thick bodied and flavorful without being too strong. The smell is like a normal tea. The value is what does it for me and why it is such a great tea to drink every morning, it is so cheap!

The aroma is mild with a bit of spiciness. The liquor is a very dark brown. Strong flavor, with a smoky after taste that stays on the tongue. A good 'strong' tea.

Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 10min (per tea), sample bag, 8oz
Aroma: Very traditional cinnamon and spice aromas jump out of the mug here. I’m expecting this to be quite spicy. 9/10
Flavor: Fairly good pop of cinnamon and clove notes. This doesn’t overwhelm your palate with spice but it bring back memories of chai spiced la...

This tea is mild all around. The aroma is slightly fruit. The liquor brews to a gold/amber. Flavor is a traditional Ceylon. Would probably be eclipsed by milk or sugar.

Sep. 13th, 2020
Received as a gift about a year ago (but in sealed teabags).
Aroma: dry tea has a rich strawberry flavor.
Flavor: fruit flavor is not very apparent which is a bit disappointing. Apart from that it's a decent tea. May try it with hotter water (I know you're not supposed to boil green tea!) or see if it works bette...
