CBC Radio Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 8th, 2022
This tea was blended originally in 1996 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, though I don't think CBC markets it directly. Murchie's website touts, "choice Ceylon and China black teas, Jasmine and other green teas with a touch of citrus".
Another in a remarkably large select...
No. 22 Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 23rd, 2022
Murchie's promotes this as a more robustly flavored version of their No. 10 Blend, which I reviewed very favorably in 2019, and I agree. So I'll give it a few more points. The component teas are:
GREEN: Jasmine and gunpowder
BLACK: Keemun and Ceylon, with some bergamot.
No. 22 Blend is yet another in a growing...
Anniversary Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend79 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 12th, 2021
Murchie's developed this blend to commemorate their 125th anniversary (1894–2019), and I hope it sticks around.
A blind taste test might elicit a reaction like this: "Really nice black tea blend, but I can't quite place this interesting flavor it has under that." The black tea solidly dominates the green in dry-b...
Palm Court from Harney and Sons
Style: Black and Oolong Blend – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
May. 11th, 2021
This has a hoity-toity description, claiming that it is the "beverage of choice" at the Palm Court in New York City's Plaza Hotel. I actually went there once, several years ago, and had a cup of tea, which I don't remember as being anything special. Despite the pedigree, this is a fairly ordinary cup of tea - it is s...

Library Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 22nd, 2021
Murchie's touts Library Blend as the ideal tea to sip while reading a good book—hence the name. Instead I chugged three of several cups so far while watching a live-streamed volcanic eruption. Does that violate the "spirit" of the brand? ;-)
Library is a green-black mix, one of quite a large inventory of such bl...
Canada 150 Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Miscellaneous Tea-only Blend – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 11th, 2021
Here's a new blend style for me: green, black and oolong. As the name indicates, Murchie's first produced this to commemorate Canada's 150th anniversary, and it apparently gained enough of a following to keep going as a sale offering. Fittingly, it also is faintly maple flavored—much less so than any of Murchie's ...

Queen Victoria Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd

Feb. 19th, 2021
Have you ever walked into the lobby of a tire shop, and noted its distinctive aroma of freshly manufactured tire rubber? That was my immediate impression of the taste/scent blend upon drinking this tea, and I can't shake it. It's as if someone liquefied that air in a tire store, and stirred it into a tea. The websit...

Griffin's Wharf Afternoon Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Miscellaneous Tea-only Blend – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 9th, 2021
Here is a blend of China Congou and Lapsang Souchong that works out quite well. The LS is the dominant flavor, with the other tea smoothing and mellowing the taste a bit. It goes well with plant milk. I thought the price was a little high for this type of tea, but I would reach for it again if I was in the mood for a...

Waterfront Blend from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 5th, 2020
This product is named after Vancouver's Waterfront Hotel, which commissioned Murchie's to produce it for tea service there starting in the 1990s. Buoyed by the success Murchie's has had with their somewhat similar, jasmine-flavored #10 Blend, over many decades of production in general, and in my mouth in particular, I...

Hot Brandy 2016 from white2tea
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: ?????45 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 11th, 2020
I commend White2Tea for the attempt at combining white tea with black tea in a cake like this. It was an interesting experiment. But, while the taste really isn't bad, the effect it has on me is very uncomfortable. That also hasn't changed over the years (I've had this cake for a while and have been aging it and period...

No. 10 Blend Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Green and Black Tea Blend – Region: Blend86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 17th, 2019
RateTea's description of green/black blending says that it's hard to pull off successfully, due to temperature differences needed for optimal steeping of each. Partly for that reason, I haven't tried many (if any) green/black mixtures. And yet...

Authentic Green Tea with White Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Green and White Blend – Region: ?????65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 2nd, 2018
I drink quite a bit of the decaffeinated version of this tea, but had never tried the regular, caffeinated type and had the opportunity to.
Celestial Seasonings doesn't individually wrap its tea bags, but they are sealed together in a pouch made of waxed paper. The tea in the square, tagless bags is chopped fine.

Fusion Green & White Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green and White Blend – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 4th, 2018
I'll second the reviews that say it has a floral fragrance. It's subtle, but definitely there. It's a light tea that blends green and white quite well. For the price, I can say I'd buy it again!

Decaffeinated Green Tea with White Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: Green and White Blend – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 15th, 2018
This is one of my favorite decaf teas.
Like all Celestial Seasonings teas, the stringless, tagless, square tea bags are connected in pairs and are not wrapped. The box has an inner package of waxed paper to keep the tea fresh until the package is opened, but I always move the tea bags to an airtight container after ...
Eight At The Fort from Harney and Sons
Style: Miscellaneous Tea-only Blend – Region: Blend100 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 27th, 2018
From Harney's website: "A medium brown blend of the 8 different teas... This is a medium bodied tea with full bodied Assams offset by the lighter Darjeeling and Formosa Oolong." I was eager to try this tea after reading it's description so I ordered a sample, as the next available volume is an 8oz box.
First steep: ...
Blissful Harmony from teakruthi
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 19th, 2017
Has an aroma of a mellow note of roasted cashewnut. The liquor is of dark copper color and tastes flowery and light. This is a common favorite in our collection and one of my 'go-tos'.

Blissful Harmony from teakruthi
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 7th, 2017
I really like this tea. I found that it varies noticeably depending on how much of each tea (white or black) is used to make a cup. I actually like it when one of the two dominates but the minority tea adds complexity to the majority one. Both are high quality, so whether you prefer white or black tea this one is worth...

Blissful Harmony from teakruthi
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: Matara, Sri Lanka78 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 23rd, 2017
I was genuinely surprised at how well this blend worked. I was also surprised at how much the overall character was like a white tea, in spite of there being more black tea and the leaf itself looking very dark.
Black and white tea blends are such a strange idea, and so hard to execute, and Teakruthi's teas have be...
Fusion Green & White Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green and White Blend – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 11th, 2014
So surprised by how good this tea is for the cheap, cheap price (A box of 24 bags was $2.99 in my local supermarket). Very light & mild - innocuous flacvor - and I needed a quick fix for a parent/teacher meeting - so this was perfect. Not gourmet, not fancy, not a holy grail - but for a cheap teabag it's one of the b...

Royal Wedding Commemorative Tea from Capital Teas
Style: Black and White Blend – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 20th, 2014
The aroma of this tea is a great blend of bright bergamot and heady roses with a creamy quality, this tea smells pretty. The aroma reminds me of summer blooming flowers and warm sunlight, I like the effect this tea's aroma has on my brain.
The taste of this tea is elegant, sweet and creamy with a vanilla quality tha...
Joy Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Miscellaneous Tea-only Blend – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 2nd, 2014
Sampled at the Starbucks at Woodland Green, West Philadelphia.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is the same tea as, or at least inspired by, the now-discontinued tea "Tazo Montage", which I never got a chance to review.
Brews up a rich golden-brown cup, about the color of a darker oolong, clearer than a blac...

I like the simplicity of this tea, but was ultimately underwhelmed. It lacks any distinct or robust flavors.

Yunnan Golden Pu-erh Tea from Teavana

Feb. 11th, 2014
Brews up quickly - 2 minutes seemed fine - 3 might have been too strong. Not too tannic, nice aroma and flavor - a light golden/brown color when brewed. I would go back for a second cup! (No sweetener added.) This is one of my first forays into the Pu-erh tea world.
