Yorkshire Gold from Yorkshire Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 16th, 2015
Love this tea - although I prefer waking to coffee, happy with this tea also, and its great in the afternoon. Bought this in England, though I'm told its available for a premium at some speciality stores. Great with toast and marmalade or banana bread. Already looking forward to next cup.

Harrods English Afternoon Tea from Harrods
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 16th, 2015
In London, and visited Harrods so had to buy something. The English Afternoon tea is nice and comes in a cute Harrods tea can. A bit pricey due to strong GBPound versus Canadian$. A mild aroma and light taste, its an ok brew to serve for high tea with scones.

Harrods English Breakfast Tea from Harrods
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 16th, 2015
We were in London, at Harrods, so had to buy something. The English Breakfast tea is decent and comes in a nice tea can. Overpriced by our standards (due to strong GBPound). But other than the novelty of Harrods, for a good cuppa I'm happy with many of the Taylors of Harrogate brands.

Pure Assam Tea Bags from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 16th, 2015
Nice aroma, but a delicate tea, if you add a bit too much water. And as mentioned by earlier reviewer, loses that flavour if not kept sealed.

Sleepytime Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 20th, 2014
I love this tea mainly because my baby daughter called it Sleepy-tite. We still call it Sleepy-tite even though she is a teen/almost adult now. Nice caffeine-free night drink.
My only peeve is 2 stores we went to (Meijers and Walmart) had variations of this with other flavors (raspberry..yech), but not the original on...
Chai Tea - Black Tea & Spices from Good Earth Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 20th, 2014
Not a great chai - too much chicory and cinnamon I think we discarded the box after consuming maybe half the tea bags (rarely finishing a cup of tea). Ingredients just did not taste authentic - who puts chicory in tea!
So many better tasting, less expensive chais' out there.
Cinnamon Stick® Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 20th, 2014
My daughter tried this at a restaurant and told her mother how much she liked it. So my wife picked up 5 boxes - that was 3 years ago. We gave away a couple of boxes to someone who thought they'd like it, but still have 2 boxes left. Very difficult to drink (the cinnamon is overpowering) even when I desperately need a...

Coco Chai Rooibos from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 20th, 2014
This is a wonderful caffeine free alternate to overly sugary hot chocolate.
The red peppercorns, cardamom and ginger give this rooibos chai its character. To enhance the flavor, I take out a few of the whole cardamom and pepper seeds and crush them before adding back to the mixture. We add a bit of honey which makes...
Organic Saigon Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 20th, 2014
the Saigon cinnamon and pink peppercorns give this chai its character. The whole cardamom and cloves are great and maintain their flavor over time. To enhance the flavor, I usually isolate a few of the whole cardamoms, pepper seeds and cloves and gently crush them before adding back to the mixture.
The tea is a bit...
Chai Spice Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5

too much cinnamon, and not enough of the other stuff in the masala.

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5

Very nice chai - well balanced.
Got as part of a gift pack (sample size) just enough to sample, but we wished we could buy it here.

good, basic tea - once in a while that's what you want, something not fancy. It blends well to make a chai.

Pretty nice blend, although the lemongrass and mint tend to clash (I think).

Orange & Spice Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea

Why even call this a tea... call it unsatisfying flavoured water, but not tea?
A waste of effort.

Decent tea - got in a gift basket, but would consider buying it.

Chai (formerly Indian Spiced Chai) from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 19th, 2014
OK in a pinch, but way too cinnamony (and I'm not sure its not natural flavor).
Expect a bit better from Twinnings.
Darjeeling from Twinings
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 19th, 2014
Pretty decent malty flavor - light with milk (looks a bit watery) but has taste and aroma.

pretty bland in terms of aroma and taste (is that synonymous with Irish?), but good for a change once in a while.

Earl Grey from Twinings
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 19th, 2014
OK - decent EG, light in terms of flavor and caffeine level. I think Tazo EG is far better.
I usually get a box of 100 or 144 from Costco, so decent value.
Chai Classic (Formerly Organic Tazo Chai) from Tazo Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 19th, 2014
Overall a very good chai - way I would like chai (I'm Indian) to be. I find other chai brands to be over powered with cinnamon or chicory. Tazo has a better balance in the chai masala.
In Canada, Tazo is more expensive than US, but still worth it.
Let me know what others think is a better chai brand out there.
