Black Tea
Baseline grocery store tea. There's better stuff out there, but there's nothing really wrong with it, it's just boring and doesn't have any complexity.
-
Decaf Strawberry
Very nice! The tea flavor itself was a little thin for some reason, but the strawberry flavor was spot on!
-
Chestnut
Delicious! Rich ant nutty and warm, with just a hint of a smell of the bitter chestnut skins. My new favorite tea for winter!
-
Hojicha
A really nice green tea! It's got a roasty quality that I love, and the green-vegetal notes that I don't always like in other green teas, is very mild in this one.
-
Peppermint
My favorite mint tea! It is very, very minty; quite strong, and a little sweet. And, it doesn't start to taste like wet grass if you steep it too long!
-
Sticky Rice Shou Pu-Erh
I love puerh teas, and this one is fantastic! The 'rice' flavor actually comes from an herb - and it really does taste like rice is in there!
-
Rote Grutze
A very tart, very flavorful tea. It is packed full of berry flavor, and makes an awesome iced tea!
-
Maple Espresso Black Tea Blend
A little strange, but good! The espresso gives a lot of oomph, and blends with the maple nicely. And it tastes really nice with milk and sugar.
-
Tulsi Sweet Rose
I lose rose flavored teas, but this is very mild. All the other herbs overpower the rose flavor. And the stevia does add a strange aftertaste.
-
Raspberry Zinger
A bit too tart for me, but add some sugar, or mix it with some other kind of tea, and it works for me!
-
GOLDEN CHAI
Decent chai, though a lot more mild than most other chai I have tasted. (I prefer them really strong)
-
Ginger Aid
Ginger! It almost tastes like biting into ginger. The flavor, not the strength. I will normally let it steep a good long while, and drink it unsweetened. You can also mix it with a black or green tea.
-
Throat Coat
Little bit of a weird flavor, and I didn't particularly notice it helping with a sore throat. In the past I've found things like chamomile and mint help me more.
-
Virgo
So refreshing! It's a little tart, a little sweet, a little floral, and a little herbal. And it somehow manages to stay smooth too. Super-tasty!
-
Maple Creme Oolong
Honestly better than I was expecting. Rich and creamy, with just the right amount of maple flavor. My preferred go-to is to add a dash of sweet cream, it makes it taste so good!
-
White Symphony
This is the first white tea I actually liked. It is pale, light, and thin, but so, so, gorgeously complex! I can usually get multiple steeps out of a serving too - great mileage for your money!
-
Dragon Fruit Dream
Little tart, little sweet. I found the pineapple took over the flavors, leaving it too sour for my tastes. Steeping it longer didn't help, as the pineapple only got stronger. It was still ok though, I just needed to sweeten it.
-
Milk Oolong
Very complex, but light. It smells very green, but there are a lot of flavors when actually drinking it.
-
Pu-erh Hazelberry
Surprised me! Robust and strong, but with a great rich quality from the cream and nuts, and a hint of berry to brighten it up.
Tastes great with cream and sugar too!
-
SAKURA ALLURE GREEN TEA
I remember being /so/ disappointed with this tea - it tasted like a combination of cough syrup and plastic. I tried to mix it with other stuff, just so I could drink it and not waste it, but I still didn't like it.
-
JADE CITRUS MINT GREEN TEA
I've bought this after they started releasing teabags for sale at grocery stores. It tastes fine, though I must say I do prefer Tazo Zen over this.
-
PEACH MOMOTARO ARTISAN TEA
I still have some of these, which I bought almost 10 years ago! I have kept them in an airtight container the whole time, and bust them out for special occasions. The fragrance and flavors have faded over the years, but it still tastes good!
-
Matcha Mate Grapefruit
I'm surprised at how much I like this! The matcha is a more earthy kind of green tea, which I think blends really nicely with the flavors of yerba mate. Then grapefruit is a more earthy/bitter kind of citrus, but it really brightens it up. I find I don't need to add any sweetener to this one.
-
Zen
One of my favorite green teas! I always find plain green tea in teabags to be too grassy/ vegetable tasting, but this one is great! The spearmint and lemongrass make it fresh and bright, and it makes great hot and iced tea!
-
Prickly Pear Cactus
The prickly pear flavor is a little strange; almost berry-like, almost plum-like, but a little more exotic. It's a little tart, but not very tart. There is a tiny hint of sweetness, but a little sweeter does help.
-
Juniper Mint Honey
I really wanted to like this, but there's a weird aftertaste that I just can't shake. Adding honey or sugar helps tone it down a bit, but it does still end up a little...fuzzy-tasting, somehow.
-
Chai Classic Latte
I like this for how easy it is to make. The flavor is good, but the texture is strange sometimes. Like...it's syrupy, but still feels thin on the tongue. I usually mix it with soy milk; at my preferred ratio, the texture is still a bit thin, but the flavor is almost too strong. And if I add more milk, the flavor is too diluted. I prefer to brew my own chai to get the flavor and strength I want, but this is a good alternative for convenience.
-
Passion
I don't like this tea hot. It's too tart, not sweet enough, and has a weird aftertaste from licorice. I only like to make it like the Starbucks way, to make it iced, and mix it with lemonade.
-
Nutcracker Sweet
I remember having some of this tea years back - I still look for it from time to time these days! It's a not-too-strong black tea. The cinnamon and vanilla add some nice depth - it makes a great festive drink, especially with some milk and sugar, or sweet cream.
-
Honey Vanilla Chamomile
I normally don't like licorice in my tea, but in this blend it's actually ok! The sweetness of the honey and vanilla are some of the strongest flavors, and they blend really well with the chamomile.
-
Wild Berry Zinger
Very tart, lots and lots of berry flavor. Adding some sugar or honey helps to even out the tartness; it makes a really awesome iced tea!
-
Chamomile
Good, basic chamomile tea. It can be a little bland on its own, but definitely a great choice for herbal tea.
-
Tension Tamer
I hate licorice in my tea, so I can't stand this one. My husband on the other hand, absolutely loves it.
-
Sleeptyime Extra
I love the taste of OG Sleepytime. I don't think I can taste the extra flavors in this one, but it does help me feel relaxed!
-
Green Tea Kombucha
I love this tea so much! It has a nice green/vegetal quality from the green tea, but the spearmint brightens it up, and the lemongrass adds some acidity. The plum adds a little depth as well.
-
Honey Chai Turmeric Vitality
Pretty nice as a bedtime tea. It does have a bit of an odd aftertaste, but I know it's the stevia (I'm not a fan).
The spices are nice, it's very mellow over all, and I do enjoy it with a little milk and sugar.
-
DECAF BLACKBERRY SAGE BLACK TEA BAGS
I actually have the caffeinated version of this. (The teabag flavors are probably closer to each other)
The black tea and blackberry are really nice, though I don't get a lot of sage. It adds a tiny bit of an earthy quality, which I like, so I'd like that to be a bit stronger.
-
Lapsang Souchong
Very smoky smelling tea. I will say it kind of reminds me of smoked salmon, but once it has steeped, it's just a really nice tea, complex and rich. Not the best lapsang for sure, but if I see it at the grocery store, I don't hesitate to buy if I'm running low.
-
Double Spice Chai Black Tea
Quite possibly my #1 favorite chai. I typically like to brew it double-strength, then blend it with an equal part of steamed milk and some sugar. Or just warm up some milk on the stove and steep the tea directly in it.
It is definitely spice-heavy, but the flavor of the tea does help add some complexity.
-
EARL GREY
This is actually my all-time favorite Earl Grey. I have tried other companies, and lots of loose leaf versions, but there's just something about Bigelow's bergamot flavor that I like better than all the others.
-
sweet cinnamon black tea bags
Very nice tea; the cinnamon is nice and strong, so you don't have to brew for too long to get a good flavor.
-
CONSTANT COMMENT BLACK TEA BAGS
One of my oldest beloved favorites. I think both of my grandmothers used to keep it around when I was little, and my mom kept it around from time to time too.
The orange is always very strong, and the spices add a nice kick. It can get bitter and almost pine-y if you steep it too long, but even then just add some cream and sugar and it's still good!
-
WILD BLUEBERRY WITH ACAI
Super, super-tart. And feels kind of thin on the tongue no matter how long it steeps. Adding sugar helps a little, but it doesn't have the kind of depth and complexity I normally like.
-
Coconut Mango Oolong Tea
I have loved this tea for a long time. The coconut and mango flavors are both very mellow, which pair really nicely with the more mellow oolong. And, it doesn't get super-bitter if you steep it too long, so that's nice too!
