Sweet & Spicy Caffeine Free from Good Earth Teas
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 6th, 2021
My boss drinks this at work and while it smells like Christmas - I can't deal with this type of tea. It is caffeine free and brews up in about 3-4 minutes. Mid-priced. Affordable. Not my fave. So. Much. Cassia bark.

Vanilla Comoro from Harney and Sons
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 15th, 2020
A delicious, fragrant and strong-brewing decaf sachet. I take it plain but could easily add milk and/or sugar or sweetener if desired. So comforting. Not too expensive - nice tin and sachets.

Japanese Sencha (Sachets) from Harney and Sons
Style: Sencha – Region: Shizuoka, Japan71 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 23rd, 2020
I had this tea at a local restaurant (in a bag) and got 2 cups out of 1 bag - even though the restaurant offered me a second bag. It had a slight grassy note but also a pleasant roasted flavor vaguely reminiscent of a barley or genmaicha. I really enjoyed this tea - hot - no lemon - no dairy - no sweetener.

Style: Rooibos / Tea Blend – Region: ?????22 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 27th, 2019
In general I don;t like Rooibos, but this has green in it and a bunch of fruity peach flavoring. Supposedly also contains dandelion leaf. Not a big fan of this one.

Organic Green Tea with Pomegranate & Acai from Bigelow Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 4th, 2019
Super-fruity wit a hint of acid - very nice over ice and OK hot, too. (Add sweetener if you wish but I don;t think it needs it - so go easy on the honey/sugar).
A nice change of pace it winter for hot or summer for iced fruity-green bagged tea. Inexpensive and convenient.
Steep Pure Green Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 4th, 2019
A very good value for a bagged green (organic). Branding is "snazzier" than the traditional bagged bigelow teas. We have "Steep" in out office and it is a nice upgrade from el-cheapo Lipton.

Darjeeling Estate Organic Black Tea from Wegmans
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India56 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 21st, 2019
Kind of expensive - and it is NOT a first flush (light/sweet) Darjeeling - but it is good. Not a holy grail but a decent variety for Darjeeling - and I love Wegman's, so there's that. Twinings bagged Darjeeling (likely Autumnal Flush) is darker but smoother. This one (Wegman's Darjeeling) comes loose and brews up fu...

Darjeeling from Twinings
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 21st, 2019
Cheap Darjeeling? How is this possible? I am a first flush Darjeeling kinda gal and Twinings actual makes a (definitely not first flush, but good enough)bagged Darjeeling that is CHEAP and easy to find. AI can't even believe my office is stocking this - and a also Irish and English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Orange & Spi...

Purple Acai Blueberry Green Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 11th, 2019
Super fruity and can be overly sweet - even without sweetener so go easy on any honey or sugar you might normally add. Very, very fruity. A slight tart finish. Pleasant enough hot but for me better over ice. Inexpensive bagged tea.

Earl Grey - Lavender from Twinings
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 4th, 2019
Twinings is a very afforadle and accessible brand of bagged teas - and if you like a classic Earl Grey (Bergamot flavor), and if you happen to like lavendar - the aroma of this tea is very nice. I would rather sniff it than drink it! I tried it hot with no dairy (ick) and no sweetener but a tad bit of honey might be ...

Green Tea Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????34 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 29th, 2018
Not great - not undrinkable and still a better choice (for me, anyway) than the standar issues Lipton Black that our office provides.
No caffeine, no complexity, no color - I steeped it over 4 minutes, only a plae green and a few whiffs of grassy/vegetal notes.
I confess, I added sweetener - I just needed a hot ...
Green Tea from Twinings
Style: Sencha – Region: ?????42 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 29th, 2018
Had a teabag stashed in my work bag - and lo and behold it was Twinings Green tea - not even sure where I got it from - not from home - likely from an office or an event I had been to
So I was hankerin' for something OTHER that the Lipton "Wake dat a$$ up" black tea in the office so i brewed up the Twinings Green. ...
Jasmine Oolong Tea from Teavana
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: ?????62 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 25th, 2017
This is a sweet floral tea with a longer than average steeping time - but it is worth the wait. A little overpriced as you are paying Teavana's marketing department - but I like it - I can enjoy this equally hot or iced and I don;t sweeten it. The aroma is just wonderful - even better than the taste (to me).

Classic Mint (Egyptian Mint Herb Tea) from Novus Tea
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: Egypt50 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 2nd, 2017
I agree 100% with Alex. I had this at a restaurant - and it is a mid-to-strong peppermint without being too strong/sharp. Not a candy-cane tea - might even have spearmint in there too? Can't tell.
Nope. Just checked the Bigelow website - it's 100% peppermint, which, indded, you can grow yourself. Cheaply.
Darjeeling Tea from Novus Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 2nd, 2017
Was offered NOVUS teas (by Bigeow) at a restaurant - comes in a silky sachet, wrapped in a sealed pouch. Very fresh tasting and deep, dark (much darker than other Darjeelings I have had) and steeped up quickly. I got 2 infusions from the bag in a large pot of water.
I am a Darjeeling drinker, so I was fine with ...
English Breakfast Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????46 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 16th, 2017
Meh. It's OK - and as Alex indicated it tastes much differently that the (also "Meh") caffeinated version. I get these in my office for free and only drink it when my own "personal stash" of "good tea" has been depleted. Twinings is inexpensive and easy to find.
This is a black tea with a bit of acidity to it. I...
Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: ?????64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 3rd, 2017
So expensive but fun and tasty. A novel-tea. (Pun intended). I am a big jasmine fan - but there are better ones out there. Still, I liked it. I like this one even better than Teavana's Jasmine Oolong (I love greens!). Boith are good choices for hot or iced enjoyment.

Green Tea with Lemon from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea with Lemon – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 18th, 2017
Meh. Not impressed. You are better off brewing your favorite green tea and squeezing fresh lemon into it. I do not care for lemon in my green tea - unless it is iced. That said, Bigelow is inexpensive (and in my office - provided for free - in bags and K-cups) and accessible. An average, inoffensive green tea.

Organic Pure Green Tea (Premium Green Tea Organic) from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????71 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 30th, 2016
Nothing offensive about this reasonably prices and ORGANIC tea that you can pick up in a grocery store for under $5. Convenient bags. No issues.
Update 2019: Look for Steep by Bigelow Organic Pure Green tea also. Good value for a bagged green.
Ginger Peach Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 30th, 2016
Inexpensive - around $3 - $4 for a box of 25 tea bags. Frut and peachy fragrance that brews up quickly. Not nearly as good as Republic of Teas version - but very inexpensive and good when I can't get Republic's. My 11 year old loves fruuity teas (Peach and Pineapple especially). Some ginger notes - but not harsh. ...

Japanese Green Tea from Kirkland Signature / Costco
Style: Green Tea – Region: Japan40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Aug. 17th, 2016
Meh. I had this at a SPA no less - I guess they buy their green tea bags in bulk from Costco. While this was drinkable, it was by no means enjoyable. On a cold day I guess it beats a cut of hot water? But so weak and non-descript tasting.
Meh.
There are better options out there.
Sometimes, in an attempt to s...
Organic Pinhead Gunpowder Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Jiangxi, China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 17th, 2016
I am a big fan of pinhead gunpowder (Green) tea - and it is fun to watch it steep/brew as all the little balls unfurl. This one by Stash is moderately priced. Pinhead is never (or not that I have seen) sold in bags/sachets as you need it loos to watch it work its magic.
I drink this neat - (Hot) or possibly with a...
Silver Needle from ITO EN
Style: Silver Needle – Region: Fujian, China63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 12th, 2016
If you like white teas (so pale - must steep longer.) this is a safe choice and has not only a light grassy note but I got "flowers" - or maybe even honey if that's not reaching too far.
I let it steep forever - over 5 minutes and it was still so pale, but it is, after all, a white tea.
Rich in antioxidants. Lik...
Citrus Mint from Tea Forte
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 12th, 2016
I am not a fan of mint teas - but the citrus/orange-y notes in Tea Forte's cute little sachet made this one palatable. I recommend steeping longer than 3-4 minutes and then chilling and service over ice. I did not care for it hot. As with all Tea Forte - you are paying for packaging and they make great gifts.

White Ginger Pear from Tea Forte
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 26th, 2016
As with many tea Forte - it's all about packaging and presentation. tea Forte is my go-to when I want a showy gift - but the teas themselves are not the best ever - but they are very good. This one - Ginger Pear (More like Fruit and Pear) is tasty and sweet - good hot or iced but you must steep it at least 4-5 minute...
