get soothed - No. 8 from Republic of Tea
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 11th, 2011
Since I only ever drink this when I am sick, I can't speak to its effects upon a healthful tea drinker. It tastes like everything tastes when you have a cold, but the temperature, if nothing else, is soothing when applied to the back of your throat.

Cardamon Cinnamon from Republic of Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 11th, 2011
I want to love this, really I do. But it has none of the guts of cardamom and none of the winsomeness of cinnamon. Instead, it's a mild, very vaguely spicy herbal brew that is decent to drink after dinner.

Darjeeling from Tazo Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 11th, 2011
I find this tea muscular but not particularly illuminating. Do not oversteep. Do not expect any kind of tea revelation, either. Passable.

Cinnamon Apple Spice Herbal Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend33 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Jan. 11th, 2011
I like both apples and cinnamon. I tasted neither in this tea. This is foul, chemical tasting brew. Though "brew," with its connotation of actual tea, gives this more credit than it deserves.

Om from Tazo Tea
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Himalayas77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 25th, 2010
Whoops! Didn't let me finish... There is something ineffably yummy about this tea. It shouldn't work (black AND green? With "flavors of peach and cucumber?) but it is bright, grassy, and drinkable, less earthy than a green but less tannic than a black. I keep drinking more, just to try and put my finger on what's g...

Lemon Ginger Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 9th, 2010
There's lemon, there's ginger, there's...something else. The flavor of tulsi, which is difficult to pin down, made the tea a little milder and earthier/grassier than I expected. An interesting after dinner option.

Chai Classic (Formerly Organic Tazo Chai) from Tazo Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 9th, 2010
A strong, workmanlike chai. Ginger leads, which I enjoy. Nice body to the remaining flavors, which are assertive yet nicely blended. Good value.

Passion Filterbag from Tazo Tea

The only thing passionate about this tea is my desire to get away from it. Like drinking purple vinegar.

Wild Sweet Orange from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 9th, 2010
The nose is amazing, nectar-sweet and citrusy. The taste doesn't quite live up to it, but this is a light, pleasant herbal tea, fruity but without the sting of a zinger. Can be a little sour if oversteeped.

Coconut Chai Black from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 19th, 2010
I really enjoy this tea. The coconut lifts the aroma into something really special, and rounds out the warmth of the other spices. Chai always feels decadent, but this to me feels extra-decadent. I do wish it were a little less pricey.

Vanilla Black Tea from Twinings
Style: Vanilla Black Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 20th, 2010
I think this tea is OK, but I am a sucker for vanilla black teas. Neither the vanilla nor the tea is top-notch, but you can't beat the value.

Black Pearl Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon33 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
May. 11th, 2010
Well....about all I can say for this tea is that it is a cut above the Lipton teabags. Although I'm not sure I can even say that, because the teabags possess an unmistakable musty flavor that, although not particularly tasty, is unique. This is just mediocre black tea.

Spiced Chai Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 10th, 2010
Well, this is kind of....OK. Doesn't have the complexity of the really good chais, merely a mild cinnamon flavor with some overlays. Not unpleasant.

Tea of Inquiry from Republic of Tea
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
I've always found green tea to be a little astringent but I love the way the nutty/charred flavor of the toasted rice cuts through the earthiness of the green tea. There's a faint taste of burning matches, a little iron, grass. Good stuff.

Ginger Peach from Republic of Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
I usually hate fruit teas, and to be honest, I'm not too fond of the fruitiness in this. Somehow, though, the peach and ginger flavors balance each other nicely, and the assertive base of black tea still comes through. I associate this tea with afternoons, the kind when you need a jolt. Also smells great.

Honey Vanilla Chamomile from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: ?????87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
I do like this tea. The aroma is fabulous: honey, vanilla bean, the grassiness of the chamomile. The taste isn't far behind. Plus it isn't too pricey, so it makes a good stanby evening tea. Much less bland than chamomile alone.

Black Tea from Lipton Tea

Mar. 8th, 2010
Well....it tastes like it tastes. I could probably ID this tea blindfolded. It reminds me oddly of yerba mate and never brews very strong. Aroma is pretty much nil. I only really drink this tea at hotels.

Throat Coat® from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Wellness Tea / Medicinal Tea – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 27th, 2010
This tea is a horrible combination of astringent and cloying, with a taste remarkably reminiscent of those dreadful Fisherman's Friend lozenges. On the other hand, it works. Short term, but when you have a sore throat you'll take short term.

Pretty tasty, though minus the delectably smoky flavor of the Republic of Tea's green tea w. toasted rice. Brews quickly, often on sale at my local coop.

Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea from Stash Tea

Dec. 23rd, 2009
I want to like this tea more. Very strong ginger kick, which I enjoy, but a lemongrassy/medicinal foretaste, which I don't. I want something soothing yet spicy after dinner; this makes me feel like I'm being wormed.

Yes, I am ashamed to be drinking a tea so irremediably punny. Yes, I it tastes of vanilla and nutmeg and workhorse black. Yes, I love it. Yes, yes, yes.

This is pretty tasty. Very spicy, perhaps too many sharp as opposed to sweet notes for my taste. A little expensive but a nice, strong chai.
