Mint Herbal Tea from Rituals
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: ?????76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 29th, 2024
Peppermint tea is going to get a good rating from me in general, since I like the flavor so much, unless the leaves are stale and/or weak. This is neither—flavorful and smooth, with a nice dry- and wet-bag aroma, as well as smell and taste in-cup. A restaurant serving this tea, especially in a small cup to maximize...

Harmonic Mint from Teavana
Style: Mint Tea – Region: Blend58 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 21st, 2024
Teavana takes a blend of spearmint and peppermint, dashes in a dollop of lemon verbena, and offers it now in teabags. Given the apparently identical ingredients, I strongly suspect this is a renaming or reincarnation of the former "Mint Majesty Full Leaf Tea Sachets" rated here seven years ago by Bob Downs. It gave o...

Organic Herbal Tea Supplement, Immunity from Great Value
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 6th, 2024
This somewhat medicinally advertised herbal blend is mostly echinacea purpurea: American purple coneflower, a Great Plains flower that grows readily in the wild in nutrient-poor Okie red dirt, as well as in my own gardens. Nonetheless, the secondary ingredients—lemongrass, licorice and spearmint—dominate the aro...

Beautiful Mind from Shanti Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 22nd, 2024
This is a tisane crafted from a few herbs that supposedly provide a cognitive boost: gotu kola, gingko biloba,and ashwagandha, along with some other herbs that presumable add some flavor, like sage and lemon verbena. It also contains peppermint and rosemary, which some believe have healing or stimulating properties. ...

Sleepytime Lavender from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 9th, 2024
True story: I actually grabbed this somewhat absentmindedly off the shelf at Sprouts thinking it was True Blueberry (almost identical color scheme and basic design!), then only noticed the different name and cartoon when placing the box on the checkout belt. "Well, what the heck, I'm not a big fan of lavender as a tas...

Chamomile Herbal Tea from Rituals
Style: Pure Chamomile Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 5th, 2024
Another in an assortment of Rituals teas I got from a couple of motels this spring, their chamomile offering made a very nice impression too. With only a very few exceptions, most chamomile teas in my experience differ very little, and when they do, tend to drop off markedly because of lack of freshness. Food-service...

Pomegranate from Farmer Brothers
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend68 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 18th, 2024
As with most Farmer Brothers teas, I got this at a motel. Some motels have nice management who offers tea, and a most-welcomed minority of them offer more than only straight Lipton, or than the cheapest possible store brand like Great Value. When they do, and it's reasonably good, I try to commend the staff directly ...

Rote Grütze (Red Groats) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Germany80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 21st, 2024
This is a fruit tisane, nothing groaty about it. It is pretty tangy in the nostrils. The flavor is hibiscus mixed with blueberry and strawberry. It turns out that this is made of hibiscus, grapes, elderberries, blueberries, and flavoring. An enjoyable fruit tisane that would be probably be nice on ice.

Peppermint Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Peppermint Tea – Region: United States of America85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 25th, 2024
As much Murchie's tea as I've ordered, chugged and rated, and as strongly as I love peppermint, this was only a matter of time. Usually, I get a quick box of somebody's peppermint tea (usually Celestial Seasonings, which I've rated highly) at a retail store and go with that. However, lately amid price inflation of al...

Harvest Blend Herbal Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 4th, 2023
"Harvest Blend" firmly ranks among the few best herbal teas I've had, and it's a store-brand product. A few options are out there for excellent, comparably delicious, fall-winter, "cinnamoney" seasonal herbal teas, but with the value of a low price point innate to Trader Joe's, I can't think of any better for the buck...

Warm & Cozy from Teekanne
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 1st, 2023
Teekanne does a lot of variations of some of the same herbs in assorted ratios—much as Celestial Seasonings with its many "Zinger" teas and similar—but with Teekanne using material like fennel, licorice, and a couple others not often found in American herbals. Here, they toss in thyme with the fennel and licorice,...

Spiced Apple Cider Herbal Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 16th, 2023
While I had some of this tea at work, steeping in an open steel Thermos, my co-worker smelled it across a fairly large room, and asked me if I were drinking spiced apple cider. My response: "Yeah: a herbal tea by that exact name." I guess that tells you how closely this mimics real cider; if not, I'll vouch for it ...

Chamomile, Vanilla & Manuka Honey from Pukka
Style: Chamomile Blend – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 22nd, 2023
My daughter-in-law served this at a gathering, and I found it to be a pleasant, smooth chamomile with nothing out of the ordinary, great nor bad. In dry-bag aroma, I could detect faint honey and vanilla. Oddly, both flavors vanished in the in-cup aroma and taste, so I sweetened with honey to bring one of them back. ...

Blueberry Hibiscus from Rishi Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend55 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 11th, 2023
This blend appears to be identical to Rishi's "Blueberry Rooibos" loose blend, based on its list of ingredients (organic: rooibos, hibiscus, elderberry, blueberry, schisandra berry). However, each serving is too small, packaged in about 1/4 of a typically sized pyramid sachet, then in turn, in a 2.5x3.5-inch plastic w...

Rooibos Coco Chai from Chai Diaries
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: Blend52 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Sep. 4th, 2023
As with their other product that I have reviewed (Bombay Masala Chai), the concept is great, but the execution is lame. The sachets only contain around 1/5 their volume of dry product, which (as can be expected with rooibos) doesn't expand very much when wet, leaving the wet bags still 1/4 full or less. What a waste ...

Snow Chrysanthemum Flower Tea- Xue Ju Hua Cha from Teasenz
Style: Chrysanthemum Tea – Region: China95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 4th, 2023
A robust kind of chrysanthemum tea, love this especially in the autumn and winter season, but is quite good to as an ice tea in the summer. I only use 1.5g of tea per mug, as just a few flowers release already a lot of flavour!

Passion Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 12th, 2023
Here's the most-rated Tazo product on RateTea, but haven't yet rated here for unknown reasons. So...this is that, since I snagged some at a hotel.
The blend brews up a dense magenta hue quite quickly, presumably from the added elderberry extract ("for color" on the ingredients label). Dry-bag aroma is generically ...
Maui Mango from Tiesta Tea
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 12th, 2023
With this, I will have reviewed a tea named Mango Maui (Hawaiian Islands Tea Company) and Maui Mango (Tiesta). They're radically different, however. The former is a very good, flavored black tea, while this one is mostly dried fruit by volume (pineapple, orange slices, mango, and strawberry) with flowers sprinkled in...

Style: Rooibos – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 28th, 2023
This is a mellow, apricot-flavored rooibos, with added sunflower petals. It is all organic too, so I guess that means the "natural flavor" is also organic. The aroma is pleasant, and a little reminiscent of breakfast cereal or scented oil. The apricot flavor is certainly noticeable. Why do rooibos teas all have to ...

Holiday Spice from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 1st, 2022
This blend of rooibos, orange peels, hibiscus, and cloves (the visually obvious ingredients...I think there's some cinnamon and ginger in this too) wasted no time rocketing to the top of my flavored-rooibos list, and very nearly the top of all herbals for me. The website says the tea is modeled after pomander oranges,...

Refresh Mint Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: Mint Tea – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 2nd, 2022
My first in-person conference this decade yielded a few new teas to try and to rate. This was one. As always with such "freebies", value is based on the online and/or local store price.
This is a tea I would call "socially awkward" if it were a human. It hides quietly in the corner when you expect a meaningful i...
Pomelo (No. 1295) from TeaGschwendner

Oct. 17th, 2022
One-litre pot at home, made from a mixture of lemongrass, apple pieces, orange peel, lemon balm, sweet blackberry leaves, liquorice, sugar-coated pomelo bits, natural flavour, orange slices, and cornflower blossom. Pours nearly clear straw (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of lemongrass, pomelo and ap...

Organic Orange Vanilla Creme Rooibos Tea from 365 Everyday Value
Style: Flavored Rooibos – Region: South Africa79 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 28th, 2022
Orange-vanilla isn't a rooibos flavoring I had tried yet, but it's a favorite in general, both for black tea and going back to the childhood Creamsicle days. It's also labeled as naturally flavored. Therefore, even though I ordinarily wouldn't buy a 40-pack of a new tea taste-untested, I figured a gamble on this offe...

Indian Love Tea from Native American Tea Company

Aug. 14th, 2022
This tea isn't easy to love, since the smell is weird, but I don't hate it, since the taste is decent, which may be the "love" in the tea offsetting my lack of love *for* the tea. If you can make sense of that, you're well-prepared for the ingredients list. It looks like something out of the Yogi Tea bazillion-herbs ...
