Sep. 22nd, 2025
The aroma is a strong black blend, with a 'peachy' under tone. The liquor is a deep amber (5 min steep). The taste is very enjoyable, the Oolong addition mellows the blend a bit. This would be an all day sipping tea for me. I will work this tea into my regular rotation.

English Breakfast from Choice Organic Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 23rd, 2025
When I think of what an English Breakfast tea should taste like, after having a few good-quality loose and bagged brands early on, most others have fallen short. However, this one hit the spot right away at a motel, and a few days later at home too, living up to the standard. It left me wanting to try more of both th...

Chardwar Estate FTGFOP1 Assam Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 27th, 2025
This is a decent, budget-priced Assam. It lacks the full, malty flavor that a first-rate Assam should have, but it is not bad. A little thin and mild, but perfectly drinkable.

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...

Naturally Decaffeinated Tea from Bromley Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????69 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 23rd, 2025
Likely, I'll never rate a decaf black tea in the upper 20%, simply because the processes involved usually strip away aroma and flavor and add some sort of unnatural (usually metallic) tinge to the taste. Imagine my surprise, then, when this decaf tasted rather smooth and moderately strong, with only the very faintest ...

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.

May. 21st, 2025
Strong smoky aroma. The liquor (5 min steep) is a brownish red. There are cherry notes that linger as an after taste. This tea might be a good pairing with dessert. I would use it for all day sipping.

Apr. 17th, 2025
The aroma has a pleasant fruitiness. The liquor (5 minute steep) is a medium brown. The flavor is mild, and tasty, with a slight sweet after taste. Would be good as a base for a blended tea. Tasty.

Organic Darjeeling Estate from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 8th, 2025
Finally, after trying several Darjeeling teas, I think I've finally found one that expresses how they're supposed to taste. Most of them, in my relatively limited experience so far, have been "off" in some way: flat, or metallic, or weak, or muddy, or "old" tasting, or just ordinary and nothing special (like a lot of...

Regenerative Organic Darjeeling from Tazo Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India58 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 30th, 2025
For starters, I don't know the current availability status of this tea, or if it is the same as the original Tazo Darjeeling, which was not called "Regenerative Organic" and which has been retired for several years, at least. It apparently made a comeback or new beginning in this form, and clearly is in contemporary T...

The aroma is 'wood, spice' with a slight fruit influence. The liquor (5 min steep) is a clear reddish brown. Taste is smooth with a slight tart after taste. Classic Yunnan. Enjoyable anytime tea.

Feb. 19th, 2025
The aroma is mild with a slight woodiness. The liquor (5 minute steep) is a pleasant relish brown. Solid Yunnan flavor. No surprises from this 'first flush'. Tasty sipping tea. Mild enough to be overwhelmed by cream, milk, or sugar.

Yellow Label Tea from Lipton Tea

Feb. 18th, 2025
I got this tea at an eatery in Bangkok, and also from my daughter who lives there, and brought a bag home to try on the same well water in which I've reviewed other teas here. I'm not convinced it was worth hauling back its couple grams of dry weight in the suitcase.
In every way, this tea struck me as essentiall...
Morning Storm Tea from TWG Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 11th, 2025
This is the first of a handful of loose teas I purchased, for somewhat of a high price (even in the otherwise favorable baht/USD conversion), at TWG's nicely done Emporium Mall store in Bangkok. Now that I'm home, they'll be rotated in behind teas being used up.
Admittedly, I got Morning Storm mainly for the name, ...
China Black Mu Dan from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Hunan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 6th, 2025
Aroma is a subtle sweet (peach) scent. The liquor (5 minute steep) is a light brown with amber. The flavor is good, with the fruit after taste. A good choice for an all day sip. I would buy this again.

Style: Black Tea – Region: Japan65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 15th, 2025
I was curious to try this. I associate Japan with twig teas, tea mixed with puffed rice, green teas, and matchas, and I never heard of Wakocha before - so this is something new for me. It is a good black tea, not as premium as the price may indicate, but not bad at all. It has a lightly astringent, earthy flavor, and...

English Breakfast (tea bags) from Teavana

Nov. 12th, 2024
Another bagged offering arrives from Teavana's latest comeback push, which finds its teas (including this one) in late 2024 in online stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, and even Staples (where the price was lowest as of this writing, but still around $12 for a 24-ct box).
I used an average of the retail prices ...
Coronation Blend from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend84 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 9th, 2024
Here's the latest in a long line of Murchie's teas commemorating assorted milestones in the modern history of the British royal family—in this case, the ascension of Charles to the throne. Is this a tea worthy of a king? While not their best such black-tea blend, I'd wager His Highness would be satisfied to drink t...

Oct. 13th, 2024
I really enjoyed this tea, although it was not my favorite-of-all-favorites. It grew on me somewhat as I drank it more. I'd put it towards the category of "my least favorite among my most favorite types of tea" if that makes sense? Like it breaks into the top category but only barely.
The leaf is quite beautiful, I'...

Oct. 13th, 2024
The aroma is pleasant and bready , it has a good classic black tea smell. The taste is good however slightly on the mellow side. It has a good thick bodied richness to it. Overall it’s a pretty decent cup of tea and it is a good value because for a high end tea it’s pretty cheap!

Himalayan from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nepal80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 19th, 2024
My first Nepalese tea was a pleasant experience, but only after a little trial and error. First, the aroma: a good bit milder than the flavor, but pleasant, earthy, and floral, as if in a freshly watered flower garden with just a few active blooms of marigold or carnation wafting their scents airborne.
The first...
