Green Tea with Coconut & Ginger from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 20th, 2011
Found this green tea to be unfortunately bitter... definitely have to be careful with how long you leave the teabag in. That said it has a lovely aroma, and a strong flavor. Overall pleasant.

Royal Wedding Tea from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored White Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
May. 20th, 2011
Dopey name aside, this tea sounded fantastic and I couldn't resist ordering it. It smells fantastic, the almond and vanilla are really strong and wonderful. But unfortunately I found it to be a bit weak taste-wise, as with most artificially flavored white teas... perhaps best served with milk and sugar to bring it out....

Dragon Pearl Jasmine from Harney and Sons
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 1st, 2011
I was pleasantly surprised by this Jasmine. Typically I find that Jasmine teas smell fantastic but brew super bitter and tasteless. Dragon Pearl Jasmine, on the other hand, was both aromatic and flavorful without being overpowering. A solid choice for Jasmine.

Decaf Lotus Blossom Green (Lotus) from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 4th, 2010
It's hard to find a good decaf Green Tea, and Tazo's Lotus is a surprisingly satisfactory choice. Sweet, mellow green tea that manages to pull off a sort of pleasant lemon-y taste without being sharp.
Not exciting by any means but hits the spot
Green Tea - Classic from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 3rd, 2010
No-frills, light green tea you normally find in office buildings and drink because there's nothing else around. Strangely, it brews a sort of redish color... makes me wonder. All in all, a forgettable, satisfactory flavor– amazingly, not terribly bitter. I'm sure however, if you leave the teabag in too long it'll be ...

Tokio from Lupicia
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 20th, 2010
Tokio is a frustrating tea because it has this really fantastic, delicate fruity aroma, but the actual flavor is kind of heavy handed... all around "berry" flavor that way over powers the green tea.
I'm not a fan of berry/fruit tea in general so I'm definitely biased. However, I would recommend it to any fruit tea lov...
Lapsang Souchong - Smoky Tarry from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
I always get excited when I see brands carry Lapsang Souchong, mostly because I can't imagine their consumer base for it is very large.
Numi's always tends to be pretty satisfying if not a bit thin and their Smoky Tarry blend is no exception. They really play up the smokey-ness in the aroma but then you take a sip ...
Organic Bangkok (Green Tea with Coconut, Ginger and Vanilla) from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2010
I love me a good coconut flavored beverage, from coconut coffee to piña coladas, and I couldn't resist trying this blend when I heard about it. And yay, it was great!
Bangkok blend is great because all of the flavors really compliment each other...I'm not even a fan of lemongrass or ginger but in this tea it all c...
Sencha "Matsuri" from Lupicia
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan93 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 29th, 2010
This is my favorite green tea!!! A wonderfully mellow green tea that just always hits the spot and doesn't get bitter! Sencha Matsuri has a fantastic grassy/earthy smell (very "green"), it also brews to a wonderful green color, around the same shade as this website! As for the taste, it's a very classic green tea, but ...

Sakurambo (Cherry) from Lupicia
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 29th, 2010
This tea has a fantastic aroma! A truly lovely sweet (but not sickly sweet!) cherry smell. And unlike most fruit teas, which I find tend to taste thin and bitter, the flavor actually holds up! It's pretty over powering actually, but in a good way. If you're a fan of fruit teas, definitely take the time to check this on...

French Vanilla Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 20th, 2010
Bigelow teas always sound fantastic in theory but taste like hot water... they just never live up to their potential (which I guess, to be fair, is not really a surprise considering Bigelow is the type of tea you tend to drink because the coffee is instant and the other alternative in the wicker basket is some kind of ...

PG Tips Pyramid bags from PG Tips
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 18th, 2010
People just adore PG Tips, and I know when I was living in England it was most of my British friends go-to brand. I, however, have found it to be a little difficult to brew- you've got to time the steeping perfectly or it ends up a bit bitter and dry tasting. I have better luck with Tetley's and Barry's which seemingly...

Genmaicha from ITO EN
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 18th, 2010
I sort of consider ITO EN to be the most acceptable of the lower-end tea brands...it's certainly not a crappy brand or anything but I just mean you can find it in any corner store nowadays (premade or boxed!) and while it's not exciting, it hits the spot. I usually love Genmaicha but theirs tends to have a bitter after...

Decaf Muscat from Lupicia
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 18th, 2010
Muscat wine flavored tea... very strange yet intriguing! A fantastic smelling tea, however the flavor itself is a little lacking- not bad by any means but I found the novelty sort of wears off half way through the cup. I got this as a tea sample when purchasing other teas from Lupicia and while I enjoyed the experience...

I love Lapsang Souchong and Lupicia don't do it any harm! A wonderful smokey aroma and rich flavor without any sour aftertaste. Really satisfying overall, and good with milk too!

I'm giving this tea such a high marks because I am a true believer in its powers!! Breathe Easy has a cinnamon-spicy flavor I have to admit I'm not crazy about but it does help clear out my chest whenever I'm feeling like I'm coming down with something.

OK, it's been a long time since I've had this tea but I remember it being really disappointing and bitter. Foojoy strikes me as the cheapo brand of chinese teas.. hit or miss.

This is a sort of horrible tasting tea- pungent, minty and bitter is right. But it definitely makes me feel better after I drink it.

Run of the mill green tea. Good but forgettable... the echinacea is a good bonus.

Feb. 25th, 2010
There is just something about this tea I don't like! Overly citrus flavor and not satisfying enough. Only feels worth it if you keep telling yourself it's good for you while drinking it.

It's fine- not a bad purchase... simply not as smooth or enjoyable as its Traditional Medicinals counterpart.
