Breathe Easy
Incredibly soothing to have on your desk on a day when you have a cold. Sip when you want. Inhale the steam. Feel better.
-
LEMON GINGER HERBAL TEA
A good strong lemon tea. Great with honey for a sniffle or a sore throat. Steep it for a long time for maximum flavor.
-
Gypsy Cold Care
I'm not judging wellness claims, but this is a comforting herbal tea on a cold day or when you're feeling a big under the weather.
-
Darjeeling Choice by the Pound
Great morning tea. Very strong and full flavored. Cut it with a little milk if it's too much for you.
-
Pink Lemonade Herbal Tea
Very tart! Has more of a general sour flavor instead of specific "lemonade" taste. Probably better as a warm tea than a cold lemonade type product.
-
Assam Golden Tip Loose Leaf
Assam tea is one of my favorites. Very rich and full-bodied. A good brew that is great in the morning.
-
Italienische Limone
Please note that this has stevia in it. Other than that the lemon has a strong flavor.
-
NORTHWEST BLACKBERRY
Kind of a mess of flavors but there is a noticeable berry taste. Very tart and refreshing. Good summer tea.
-
Strawberry Cheesecake
Honestly, this one is pretty weird. It has some of the tartness of strawberries but there is no way of getting the richness of cheesecake in tea.
-
English Breakfast
Strong and rich. A good cup of tea with good quality bags so you won't find a lot of sediment in your cup.
-
BING CHERRY WITH ALMOND
Tart and sweet, this is a good herbal tea that evolves as the honey crystals melt and are mixed in.
-
WILD BLUEBERRY WITH ACAI
Love a little trendiness in my tea. Get the taste of acai and keep things cool and sweet with blueberry.
-
STRAWBERRY SENSATION
A little freshness added to black tea to sweeten it up. This says to add lemon, but I would recommend adding cream.

This is a high quality tea with a good, toasted flavor. It's a good brew for a warm afternoon. Not too high in caffeine.
-

Extremely fruity and the absolute best tea for summer. Refreshing, sweet, and perfect with some honey and lemon.
-
CHAMOMILE SPEARMINT WITH BERGAMOT
Your ultimate calm-down drink. Soothing mint and soothing chamomile. Definitely the tea to drink just before bed time.
-
Cranberry Harvest Herbal Tea
A little too acidic for our tastes. The spices makes it a little better, but it's an incredibly strong tea so don't oversteep.
-
Tension Tamer
A very complicated herbal tea. I'm not sure it's for me but the ingredients seem to be high quality and the tea is well-made.
-
BLACKCURRANT BURST
Extremely aromatic and strong flavored! Don't worry about searching for the fruitiness in this tea. You will taste the currants!
-
Organic Darjeeling
Can't argue with this classic blend. Rich without being bitter. Complicated flavor without being messy.
-
Mint Magic
How can you argue with it? Nice design. Tasty leaves. Something to always have stocked in your cabinet for a cold night or an upset tummy.
-
Twilight Rose
Fantastic blend. Complicated without being messy. Has all your favorite herbal flavors without any one overpowering the others.
-
Lady Lavender
Delicious tea with a wonderful floral note. A great way to feel refined and cultured. Touch of lavender with a base of warmth.
-
Organic Keep Fit
This will give you a kick of caffeine on the double! Between the matcha, the green tea, and the yerba mate it will keep you awake and moving.
-
88th Night
It's a delicious tea that has a delicate but complex flavor. Put at timer on this one so you don't over or under steep it. Get the water at the correct temperature. Take care!
-
Grasshopper Green
Not sure I get the chocolate notes, but there is a delicious base for the lighter, brighter mint. A delicious tea!
-
Boulder Blues
A complex and rich tea. Not too caffeinated so you can sip it on an afternoon and get the full flavor.
-
Ceremonial Grade Matcha
Matcha is not my favorite, but you have to make an exception for the BEST matcha. Smooth, delicious, and creamy.

Turmeric Tonic
The sasparilla gives this a root beer note. Very different experience to have it served hot!

Japanese Orchid Green
I love delicate green teas with floral and sweet notes. Don't over-steep or it will turn bitter.

Organic Pu Erh
I love high quality yunnan tea. Rich and mellow, this is the perfect cup as far as I'm concerned.
-
Blood Orange Smoothie
Complex candy-like flavor with a great tangy flavor. It's a delicious combination of flavors and a great treat.
-
Organic Mao Feng
I definitely see that comparison to the taste of fiddlehead ferns. It's a great, comforting tea that has the sense of a light meal.
-
Organic Ginger
Absolutely essential when you have a cold. Grab lemon, honey, and brew a tablespoon of these for a few minutes for the ultimate comfort drink.
-
Russian Caravan
Interesting blend of teas. It's a rich broth with great aromatics. Don't oversteep and it's better for hot tea than iced tea.
-
Blue Mountain Nilgiri
I love and need low-astringency teas. This is a wonderfully mellow tea that tastes great hot or iced.
-
Climbers High Chai
Complicated and energizing. A complex everything-but-the-kitchen-sink tea that will definitely wake you up in the morning.
-
Flat Belly
I don't know about making your belly flat, but this is a tasty tea with a refreshing sweetness because of the licorice.
-
Clouds & Mist
I'm not sure that the combination of smokiness and greenness is my favorite, but it's a high quality, distinctive cup of tea.
-
Ceylon Orange Pekoe
A classic! Love the orange pekoe, a tea with long twisted leaves. This one gives you a moderate caffeine kick and a rich broth.
-
Pink Rose Lemondade
This is really delightful. Floral and sweet and sharp and fresh. It's a great combination of flavors that will satisfy any herbal tea lover.
-
Keemun Tea
This does have a rich, full flavor with a hint of smokiness. Not as smoky as lapsang souchong but a touch of it that will appeal to many.
-
Organic Black Pearls
I love yunnan tea! It's so mild and tasty, and can't be oversteeped. This is great by the pot, but if you use a strainer give it plenty of room.
-
Bolder Breakfast
I agree that this tea is deliciously earthy and sweet and goes great with milk, including foamed milk to make it extra special.
-
Rosebuds & Petals
Rose petals seem extravagant but add a wonderful floral scent to teas and a beautiful garnish to pastries and salads. These are beautiful and tender!
-
Matcha
Take your time and make it correctly and matcha is the perfect brew. This is high quality and soothing.
-
Organic Gyokuro
Delicious "green" tasting green tea. Don't let it steep too long. A good refreshing taste in minimal time!

Organic Sugar Tamer
I love the hint of lavender. It's a good original touch that elevates the rest of the floral and vegetal flavors.
-
Licorice Root
This has a sweet-spice taste to it that is both invigorating and comforting. A great after-dinner tea.
-
Organic Assam
Classic. Strong. The backbone of a lot of tea blends. Assam is delicious and flavorful. Definitely recommend!

MANGO TANGO BLACK TEA
Fragrant and delicious. A great tea to add a lot of honey or raw sugar to. Sweet and refreshing in the morning!
-
Organic Hibiscus
Always great for a sore throat, or to spike your herbal tea with a little bit of necessary sharpness. A great addition to the pantry.
-
Sweet Magnolia Green
This is a wonderful, floral-scented tea. The aromatics are remarkable. Definitely something to make your surroundings into a temporary spa.

A deliciously green-tasting green tea. Steep it in an open cup to watch the pearls unfurl.

Genmaicha
The ultimate comfort tea! Warm and popcorn smelling with some nice green taste and a pleasant aftertaste. Aromatic and lovely.
-
Coconut Crush Chai
I'm a sucker for coconut tea. I think it adds just the right amount of sweetness without being tart and is wonderfully aromatic. Good for soothing evenings!
-
Ginger Peach
I think this is best over ice. If you add some sugar or honey it mellows out the spice of the ginger and brings out the peach.
-
Red Rocks
Almond is the best compliment to rooibos tea, and this is a great (and cute) tea for people who know red rocks. Very soothing and grounding.
-
Rooibos
Rooibos is the perfect base tea to have in your cupboard for when people come by and don't want caffeine. Brew it with mint and lemon peels, or vanilla and honey, and it's perfect for any occasion.
-
Ceylon Lumbini Extra Fancy
This is a very non-astringent and smooth tea that still manages to have a complex, resonant flavor.

Organic Dragonwell Spring
A great tea for people who like aromatic tea without artificial flavors. Great scent combined with a delicate flavor.
-
Meditative Mind
A flower garden of a tea. This is definitely one you want to use to not just drink but scent the room.
-
Organic English Breakfast
Complex enough that it doesn't taste flat and bright enough that it doesn't taste muddy. A great tea, and always reliable.
-
Green Tea Citrus Slimmer
Good and invigorating green tea. A nice citrus taste will get you moving in the morning or before a workout!
-
Silver Needle
A wonderful white tea. Great color. Delicious smell. You can make it by the pot and drink all of it.
-
Organic New Moon Darjeeling
It's got a strong fruity flavor. This goes with it being a bit acidic or astringent, but makes it very refreshing. A great morning tea!
-
Organic Light Out
An incredibly complicated and layered flavor. There's freshness and sweetness and a kick to it and some tart flavors as well.
-
Sencha
Incredibly green and herbal tasting tea. Refreshing on a cold, dry day. Definitely give it a try.
-
Rise & Chai
I expected this to have some citrus, but it tastes more like a health drink than a citrus drink. You can taste the fennel and the turmeric gives it a good color.
-
Citrus Boost
Incredibly floral and citrus tasting and refreshing green tea. It's a great green tea for parties and for feeling "fancy".
-
Organic Lapsang Souchong
Sometimes a smoky flavor is exactly what you need to hit the spot. This is a deliciously dark and smoky brew. Definitely recommend.
-
Organic Matcha
A smooth and almost creamy brew. This takes time to make properly but when you do make it it's great quality and not just a "flavor", as it is with some tea brands.
-
Choco-Mint Truffle
Not my favorite. The chocolate and mint flavor doesn't entirely work for me. However, I think the chocolate does give a grounding flavor to the mint.
-
Peppermint Tea
This does have a poppy-peppery flavor with some kick to it that the more soothing mint doesn't have. Try this for times when you want to be refreshed instead of soothed!
-
Moroccan Mint Tea
Mint tea is the perfect way to wind down after a cold, heard day. This tea has a good flavor so you won't need to add too much to get a sweet minty taste.
-
Iron Goddess Oolong
I think I would love this tea more if it were still picked by trained monkeys but you gotta love oolong tea. It's got a strong, hearty taste for an oolong tea with not too much caffeine. Good afternoon tea.
-
Mile High Chai
A warm blend of spices and sweetness. A great concoction if you have a cold and want something that will clear your head and warm you up.
-
Chamomile Tea
Gotta love your traditional chamomile. This is a good deal, and I like to pack a lot of chamomile into my strainer, so feel free to add as much as you want for a lot of taste.
-
White Tea with Blueberry & Pomegranate
Lipton is exploring more up-market delivery and more esoteric flavors. The blueberry adds some tartness and aromatics to the overall flavor of the tea.
-
Earl of Grey
Gotta love an Earl Grey. A little bit of bergamot oil brightens up tea in the morning and helps you get a start on the day. This citrus flavor is mild for me. Accent with a slice of lemon.
-
Aquarius
The hazelnut and vanilla flavor is associated enough with coffee flavors that it feels a little "coffee flavored" to me. I like fresher and lighter flavored teas better.
-
Peach Oolong
A very, very good flavor. Sweet smelling and even the taste has a hint of sweetness in the taste. It's mild and non-acidic. A perfect afternoon tea.
-
Jade Oolong
Extremely good quality, neutral-tasting oolong. To little "oomph" for me to entirely endorse it. Good for when you want something that's not overwhelming.
-
Milk Oolong
Extremely smooth and very low on acidity. It tastes very "green". A good relaxing flavor.
Give the tea a lot of space in the infuser. It's amazing how the small pellets expand when you steep them.
-
Taurus
A moderate caffeine tea. Very tame for a tea named after a bull! I don't pick up any strong hints of scent or flavor from it. But it is a good mellow tea that you can serve to anyone.
-
Mango
It's is more of a aromatic mango tea instead of a sweet or intensely flavored mango tea, but it has a good, mellow flavor.
I agree with some of the other reviews that posit that it would make a great iced tea. Very good scent for it.
-
Brigadoon Breakfast
I was hooked by the novelty. If it's only available once every four years why not snag it?
It's very strong and earthy, with low acidity but a sourish tang to it. Worth a try if you're shopping on Leap Year.
-
Black Forest Cake
This tea has a nice fruitiness to it as well as something that can taste a bit like a grounding of cocoa. It's not really a "dessert" tea, even with milk and sugar, though.
-
SOME VELVET MORNING (ORGANIC)
What a name! Although this was a perfectly fine herbal tea, I don't like the sharp flavor of lemongrass in the morning. Good quality but not for me.
-
nutty & spice
This has everything but the kitchen sink! We're just leaving the festive season but it's a nice cold-weather tea that blends fruit and spice and tea together.
-
white peach
I didn't get much of a "peach" flavor as much I got a general fruit and fresh taste for this herbal tea. It's a nice, sweet flavor.
-
Echinacea Shield
I would describe this as a "feel better" tea when you're under the weather. It's good for a sore throat, if you add a helping of honey, and can make you feel cozy after a long day with a cold.
-
Maple Chai
I love maple flavor. It's hard to get right but when it is done it's a delicious treat. I mostly don't like chai but this is a great sweet and spicy combination of flavors.
-
BRAVISSIMO
I can see why they chose the name. It's got a wonderful scent the moment you open the package. Make sure that you like licorice, because that's a prominent flavor. if you do, this is a great tea.
-
gingerbread blondie
I like the candy like flavor with a lot of different nuances. A great thing to sip in the evenings as a way to stay away from heavier desserts.
-
CHOPRA: ORGANIC RELAXING TEA - 20 SACHET TIN
Nice relaxing brew that's easy to make. You can't over or under steep it. It's a good everyday tea.
-
TI QUAN YIN - SPRING FLORAL
Oolong and pouchong tea is one of my favorites. This is a good, fresh, green-tasting tea.
-
Namring First Flush Darjeeling 2019
This is an extremely mellow and non-astringent cup of tea. Don't worry about oversteeping and it can take more than one steep.
-
MATCHA IRI GENMAICHA
A toasty brown flavor that rounds out the intensely green flavor of matcha tea.
-
Teesta Valley 2nd Flush
I don't get a muscatel flavor, but it is a very nice, mellow, and light-flavored tea. Low astringency.
-
Cranberry
Ooooof! Zing! This is a sharp, sharp tea. This is a good tea to wake you up with its sour-bitter flavor.
-
MATCHA UNJONOTOMO (EXTRA THICK GRADE)
Matcha isn't my favorite but this is a delicious and high quality tea. Careful preparation is needed.
-
Xianju Black
I don't get a cocoa flavor off of this tea, but I definitely get the floral and sweet aromatics.
-
Khongea Broken
This has a strong kick of flavor! Definitely something to kickstart a morning. There is also a satisfying fullness to the flavor as well.

Delicate and very "green" tasting. Don't oversteep it, but if you want to both get hydrated and feel hydrated, this is the tea for you.
-
Hunan Forest Twist
I'm not getting the tropical flavors, but it does have a good full taste, and a delicious scent. A good way to warm up on a cold day.
-
BRIGITTE'S BLEND
Very rich smell and flavor. No nonsense with oils or flavorings. Just a very full flavored tea.
-
TOWER OF LONDON
I like this one a lot. It has a fruity, sweet aroma with a very strong black tea kick. A great tea for cold, wet mornings when you want to be in a good mood and very alert.
-
MANGO FRUIT TEA
More aromatic than flavorful. But if you are craving tropical fruits in the winter, this is the tea for you.
-
Pumpkin Spice
Who doesn't like pumpkin spice when the weather turns cold? How can it not be the thing you need?
-
JIN SHAN
Very, very delicate. If you want a strong taste, dump more than a usual amount. Nice taste with no astringency.
-
MALACHI MCCORMICK'S BLEND
Never heard of this guy. I will have to look up the book. Anyway, it's a nice tasting cup of tea.
-
AMBESSA LINGONBERRY GREEN
I love the bits of cornflower blended in! Adds a very pretty touch of color to the tea leaves. Nice taste. Keeps its flavor as it cools.
-
HEAVENLY GYOKURO, HG-GROUP
Intensely green tasting. If you want a real sense of hydration and pungent plant-like taste, this is the tea for you.
-
Lao Ban Zhang Pu Erh
A good tea if you like a tame, rounded flavor with little to no astringency. High quality and satisfying.
-
Himalayan Spring
Extremely delicate. Be careful with your portion size, steeping time, and resting time to get the most out of it!
-
Chocolate Chai Supreme
This is one you want to add a ton of milk and sugar to. Make it an afternoon treat! Sweet and spicy.
-
Wild Crysanthemum
Lovely color. A very mellow herbal tea. I would add as much as possible to the pot and let it steep for a long time.
-
ROSE SCENTED
Good rose scented tea. Extremely aromatic and extremely strong. Don't over steep. If you want the flavor, even a quick dip in the water will do a lot.
-
TEMI SIKKIM
I'm getting more of the "wooden" flavors than the honey and fruit flavors. Maybe they're more in the scent? A good quality tea.
-
SENCHA SCENT OF MOUNTAINS
Very fragrant and intense flavor. Extremely "green" tasting. A little like a forest after the rain. Drink it when you crave a lot hydration.
-
SOBA TEA, ROASTED BUCKWHEAT
Odd flavor but could be your new flavor. Very earthy and grainy. Warm and inviting on a cold day.
-
BIG RED SUN
Good holiday tea! Citrus and spice flavor and a full flavor. It's nice for a cold evening. Always good quality from this brand.
-
SPICED PLUM HERBAL
This is definitely a tea for your sugarplum daydreams. Spicy and fruity and warm tasting! Let it steep for a while for full flavor.
-
Milk Oolong
A milky, creamy type of tea. Good for cold days when you have no cream on hand.
-
Wuyi Da Hong Pao
Extremely full-bodied, complex. It's not astringent at all. I would recommend it any time.
-
MUTAN WHITE
I love white teas when they're great, but am very picky about them. This is a good one with a delicate but definite flavor.
-
MOTHER'S BOUQUET
This is a good, complex herbal tea with a blend of recognizable flavors. The chamomile is nice and the fruit gives it a little zing.
-
DORCHESTER BLEND
Definitely add milk to this one! It's a strong flavored tea that won't get watered down by adding a bit of liquid and its flavor won't be erased by the milk. Enjoy!
-
AMBESSA CHOCO NUT - 50 SACHET BAG
Love apricot tea. Drink it for a sweet and mellow cup or mix it with Earl Grey for a wonderfully aromatic cup.
-
CAPRI
A sweet and aromatic tea. Complex flavors with a lot of body and warm and complicated flavor.
-
ORGANIC GREEN WITH CITRUS & GINKGO
I don't know what health benefits gingko adds to a tea but it is a nice lemony tea with a full flavor. Good for cold evenings with a little bit of honey.
-
LYCHEE
Lychee has a sweet, wet, delicate flavor that is a real addition to light teas. It's not as overpowering as citrus or as sickly-sweet as other fruits or vanilla. Good light flavor.
-
New England Tea Maker Hops
Hops. This is a wild additive to tea. It has an immediate beer-like association but gives drinks an earthy and full taste.
-
Chocolate Truffle
This is the best of the "chocolate" flavors of adagio. More subtle and also more like chocolate.
Don't oversteep these teas. They'll get bitter. Take the leaves out right on time for the best result.
-
Jasmine Yin Hao
If you like intensely green, intensely flowery teas, this is for you. It has a strong flavor that you won't mistake for anything else. Definitely not a bland tea!
-
Fujian Rain
Oolong tea that has the "green" taste of a green tea. I can see why they call it "rain", because it does have that bit of "after rain" smell. Very evocative.
-
White Peach
Extremely nice. Immediately one of my favorites. The smell is immediately sweet. The slight taste of fruit goes well with the taste of the white tea. Absolutely recommend.
-
Tiger Eye
This is good for people who like chocolate that's dark and bittersweet chocolate bars. Don't get it if you want a 'candy like' dessert. Or if you do, add some milk and cream for the chocolate notes.
-
White Pear
This is for people who like subtle flavors and aromatic teas more than heavily flavored ones.
-
Candy Cane
If it's for you, it's really for you! You will have mint breath for about an hour afterwards and the taste of mint in your mouth for about the same. Great morning tea. Not shy about the flavor.
-
Wenshan Mist Green
It's not the one for me. Nice enough, and very green-tasting, but I was hoping for less astringency and more complexity. Will plan to spice it up with some lemon and mint.
-
Chocolate Chip
A strong tea with unmistakable flavor. It's definitely good for a strong morning tea, but it doesn't have any real hints of sweetness or candy like I hoped for.
-
Raspberry Nectar
A complicated flavor that might actually be a little too complicated. Licorice and fruit and citrus and apple. It's a good quality tea but the flavor is a little too much.
-
Strawberry Hibiscus
Hibiscus is the ,main flavor is this. It has a sharp sour-citrus taste. The strawberry is more an aroma than a real taste, although there is a little fruitiness.
-
Bleu Mint
The blue tint is a cute innovation. I like butterfly pea flower as a fun way to dye drinks for a goof. Adding it for a cool shade to a mint drink is innovative.
-
Vanilla Peach
Vanilla and peach flavored tea. Most of what comes through is a fruity tang with some vanilla candy-like sweetness. Good with cream and sugar.
-
Belgian Mint Tea
A mix of mint and chocolate. Very good low-calorie alternative for After Eight fans and people who like after dinner mints.
-
Formosa Oolong
Oolong and Pouchong teas are my favorite. They have a delicious mellow flavor and don't make you nuts with too much caffeine. Good tasting and soothing.
-
Yu Qian Anji Bai Cha
I usually don't like "grassy" tasting teas, but this is a very nice cup with other flavors mixed in, so the grassiness comes through as only a little greenness.
-
Tai Lake Pi Luo Chun
A very good complicated tea with flowery flavors and dark flavors that you don't usually find together. Find time to linger over it. It's not something to drink while distracted.
-
Shi Feng Long Jing
A good quality tea, like all the teas from this line. Very nice mellow flavor without tasting like the lawn, the way some green teas do.
-
Balasun First Flush
This has a fruity and rich flavor that's very nice on a warm afternoon. Good to share.
-
bai hao yin zhen
A very, very delicate white tea. It's best to drink it while fresh because the flavor can flatten as it cools.
-
Formosa Red Oolong
I really like oolong and pouchong teas. I don't know why they're different from regular green teas, but the flavor is a lot more mellow.
-
Rohini First Flush
A complex and tasty tea that with a surprising amount of kick to it. Good even as it cools down.
-
TROPICAL ICE
Tropical tea is a good cold-brew tea for a warm day. There's some fruit that comes through best with a lot of ice in the glass.
-
CHRISTMAS TEA
What can I say? I love the holidays. This is a fun, spicy, fruity, winter-perfect tea.
-
CHAMOMILE & FRUIT
I was surprised! This has the earthy, grassy taste of chamomile brightened up with a lot of tart, bright citrus flavor. Good!
-
Vanilla Cream Spice
This is very much a more carob-y, malt-y, earthy tea than the candy tea I was expecting, but it's an interesting taste. Try it for a change.
-
Tulsi Ginger Lemon
This has a more savory soup-like taste than a tea or even herbal tea taste. Good quality, though.
-
RASPBERRY CREAM Caramel
Interesting "candy like" tea. The barley does give it a warm, rounded and caramel-like flavor that actually works.
-
Cinnamon Apple Tea Bags
Perfect fall tea! Forget pumpkin spice. Ring in the fall with the flavor and scent of apples and cinnamon.
-
GREEN TEA Garden
A good high-quality green tea. Smooth and soothing. Great to drink on a warm afternoon.
-
CHERRIES JUBILEE
This brand tends to add a lot of chicory to the herbal teas, instead of decaffeinated tea, which I don't love for flavor. The cherries do have a tartness and sweetness that's pleasant.
-
Lemon Mango Tea Bags
More lemon than mango. It has a nice mango-fruit aromatic component to the cup but not as much of a taste.
-
MEYER LEMON
The lemon is nice, but I'm not sure that I like the carob. It would probably be better with decaffeinated tea to give a roundness to the flavor.
-
Herbal Spicy Mint
A very weird combination, but quite pleasant. You have the heat of the spice and the cool of the mint as sequential series of tastes.
-
SPICED PEAR
A nice pear-flavored tea. I like that you can taste the pear, instead of just a "fruity" or "spicy" flavor.
-
Organic Earl Grey Loose
Earl Grey is my favorite go-to for tea. You can often get a sense of a brand's quality of both tea leaves and flavoring from it. This is a high quality tea with a delicious citrus finish.
-
Peppermint Leaves
Good, old fashioned peppermint tea. It's a nice, refreshing cup to have in the evening. Good minty finish.
-
OOTHU GARDEN GREEN
My taste isn't sophisticated enough to distinguish between tea flavors but this is a very pleasant aromatic tea. Soothing.
-
PEACH GREEN
More of a sharp vitamin c taste with a bit of peach aromatics than a definite peach flavor. Nice and fresh.
-
TWIG KUKICHA
I had no idea that this was a kind of tea. And interesting taste. Definitely more plant-like than regular tea. Try for the novelty!
-
YERBA MATE MINT
Never had yerba mate combined with mint before. Didn't know it had caffeine! This is a strong tea that will wake you up with a hint of freshness from the mint.
-
DECAFFEINATED CHAI
Feel like dessert in tea form after dinner? Make this strong, add a lot of milk and sugar, and enjoy.
-
DRAGON WELL
Dragonwell is a nice enough green tea. My palate isn't refined enough to work out the different flavors but this is a good quality tea.
-
PAU d'ARCO HERBAL TEA BAGS
I always love to discover new teas! Never heard of this tasty and pretty tea until I saw it with the other Alvita teas. A great change and a great novelty.
-
ROSE HIPS HERBAL TEA BAGS
This ingredient is added to a lot of citrus and berry teas. It has an extremely sharp-sour taste that companies tend to ameliorate with fruit. Interesting to get it on its own.
-
ALFALFA LEAF HERBAL TEA BAGS
I did not know until I read this tea that alfalfa was part of the sativa family. The taste of this is more soup than tea but it's a soothing tea for the evening.
-
Fennel Tea Bags
Licorice flavor galore! This is a strong tea so no need to double bag. Has a complicated but fresh aftertaste.
-
Turmeric Root Herbal Tea Bags
This is another tea that tastes more "soupy" than tea-like to me. Good color and a good quality.
-
Echinacea Herbal Tea Bags
Traditional medicinal tea. This is a good quality tea and very soothing in the evening, or as a mid-morning cup.
-
GOLDENSEAL HERBAL TEA
This one has an odd flavor that's extremely pungent. Something distinctive can be a good change from tea that doesn't stand out. If you're looking for something different, this is it.
-
SPEARMINT LEAF HERBAL TEA BAGS
Spearmint has an astringency and a sweetness that is sometimes missing in peppermint. This is tasty and pleasant tea. Recommended!
-
UVA URSI HERBAL TEA BAGS
Boy howdy this is tart. If you don't want a regular cranberry, take a gulp of this.
-
Chamomile Herbal Supplement
Gotta love chamomile. Mild, comforting, soothing, and a great way to send yourself off to sleep.
-
CHINESE GREEN TEA DECAF TEA BAGS
A good quality tea if you feel like decaf in the evening but don't want any of the caffeine or to try an herbal tea.
-
DANDELION ROOT HERBAL TEA BAGS
Dandelion root is an intensely bitter but surprisingly interesting flavor. I never thought I'd want this kind of herbal tea for taste, but I dig this one.
-
ROOIBOS TEA BAGS
Good, high quality tea. It's a great way to soothe yourself in the evenings. The rooibos has no bitterness or aftertaste.
-
PASSIONFLOWER HERBAL TEA BAGS
What an odd flavor! It's a nice, restful herbal tea for evenings. At first I put in two bags to get enough flavor, but since then I've just increased the steeping time.
-
Green Tea Bags
A high quality green tea for a mild caffeine high without any of the jitters. Not particularly distinguished but still good.
-
SAGE HERBAL TEA BAGS
Again, this is more a savory tea than a regular herbal tea. If you're used to eating it with meat or soup it may taste pretty strange.
-
GINGER-PEPPERMINT HERBAL TEA BAGS
So very tingly. I don't particularly like this combination, but the tea is good quality and it's easy to make so if you do, enjoy.
-
MULLEIN HERBAL TEA
I don't know whether this does have special properties, but it's a nice soothing cup when you have a cough. Put two bags in the cup. I like my soothing teas to pack a punch and this can get a little weak.
-
PEPPERMINT HERBAL TEA BAGS
Who doesn't love a classic? This brand makes high quality tea and when you want something really minty without that stale taste that lower brand teas sometimes have this is a good choice.
-
CATNIP HERBAL TEA BAGS
The tea to brew to make your cat go crazy. I had no idea you could drink this but since I saw this I decided to start experimenting with it and kitties do love it.
-
Alfalfa Tea Bags
Weird grassy taste. Good for a change but an odd cup of herbal tea to regularly have at night.
-
BILBERRY HERBAL TEA BAGS
Tart tart tart! With a slight fruity edge this is a very nice cuppa with a nice resonance to it.
-
GINGER ROOT HERBAL TEA BAGS
Who doesn't like a little ginger tea when they're sick? This is strong enough to curl your toes. Add some lemon and honey to make it a comforting cup of tea.
-
LICORICE ROOT HERBAL TEA BAGS
Very strong licorice taste is a weird combination of sweet and savory and minty or fresh tasting. Not for everyday but a good change.
-
MILK THISTLE TEA BAGS
This is meant to calm your stomach. I haven't noticed that, but it has a pleasing dry flavor that can be very soothing.
-
Elder Flower Tea Bags
I tried some elderflower syrup and was impressed enough to want to try this. THis isn't sweetened, but it has a wine-like fruitiness that's very tasty.
-
Fenugreek Herbal Tea Bags
This brand specializes in more nontraditional herbal teas. This is a good example of one of them. Sharpish then mellow flavor.
-
HORSETAIL GRASS HERBAL TEA BAGS
I would never have guessed horsetails, which grow around where I live, could be made into tea! Tried it pretty much out of curiosity. Not really any flavor, but it's something different.
-
Holy Basil Tea Bags
I believe this usually used as a savory herb in soups rather than a tea. This is a tasty enough tea but feels more of a half-ingredient than a full tea.
-
SENNA TEA BAGS
We all know what this tea is really for, right? :) Don't drink it if you don't want to spend time in the bathroom.
-
NETTLE HERBAL TEA BAGS
I had nettle tisane made the old-fashioned way once. This is a lot easier than putting on gloves and gathering up the leaves of nettles! An old folk-remedy that can be comforting.
-
Hibiscus Herbal Supplement
This is the ingredient that's usually responsible for the tartness in a lot of different teas. (Usually the extra stuff just adds some aromatics.) Interesting to have it on its own.
-
Cranberry Herbal Tea Bags
Taaaaaart! Very sharp taste. Not for the faint of heart. But a good alternative to more boring, standard teas.
-
Chinese Green Tea
One of the few conventional teas this brand makes. Good quality, but not particular marvelous. A good, standard green tea.
-
ROSEMARY LEAF HERBAL TEA BAGS
This is a little too much like soup for me to give it a whole-hearted endorsement. However, stewing the bags makes a room smell great and is especially comforting if you're sick.
-
RED CLOVER HERBAL TEA BAGS
I like that Alvita gives you grassy, herbal flavors that you don't get anywhere else. Red clover is an intense-smelling tea. I like to brew it at double strength.
-
Green Tea with Redbush
A good blend for if you want a standard non-caffeinated cup for the evening. Very green and herbal tasting.
-
CHERRY MOON GREEN TEA BAGS
Possibly my favorite green tea from this line. Despite its name it's not floral or perfume like. Instead it's just very light and green, making it a delicious spring brew.
-
Reserve Ti Kuan Yin Tea Bags
I do like oolong tea. I don't sense the fruity or peachiness that this says it contains, but it is a pleasant, high quality tea that you can steep a few times.
-
Pumpkin Spice Tea Bags
A fun pumpkin and spice flavor for fall. This flavor gets a lot of grief but it's a fun fall tradition. Put on a sweater and drink some pumpkin spice.
-
Canton Spice Tea Bags
An interesting blend of teas for days when you just want the rich flavor of tea instead of a candy-like or fruit-like tea. Delicious and savory.
-
Gingerman Tea Bags
Very traditional and very cute. A tasty tea with extremely adorable packaging that works well both as both a fun treat for yourself and a good gift.
-
Peach Melba Tea Bags
This is a sweet, fruity dessert tea that makes a very nice morning treat. It's not too sweet for early morning but it's a nice sweet tea.
-
Plum Good Tea Bags
Although I like the idea, I didn't get a strong "plum" flavor from this. Still, it's a good spiced tea that is comforting on a cold day.
-
VANILLA CHAI tea bags
A nice, high quality tea. Good chai-ish flavors and a candy-like accent of vanilla. Good dessert tea.
-
Honeylemon Tea Bags
Honey and lemon is always what we used to drink when we got sick in my family. This is a very nice, comforting tea for when you're sick or it's gloomy outside.
-
Blackberry Summer Tea
Good flavor, both for the blackberries and the tea. It's a good natural-flavored tea for summer afternoons.
-
Blood Orange Tea Bags
A very nice citrus scent and flavor that's a good change from more usual tastes like bergamot or lemon. It has a nice sweetness and aroma.
-
Key Lima Colada Tea Bags
This one of the teas that wasn't my favorite, although I generally love this brand. The flavors, though nice, don't work as an herbal tea. It's better for the scent.
-
Christmas Spice Tea Bags
I have to say I love it. I love the graphics, I love the taste, I love the fruit, I love the spices. Brew this to make your house smell like the holidays.
-
Nantucket Mint Herbal
A good solid mint flavor. Tastes fresh, unlike a lot of other mints that can taste a little dessicated.
-
Apple Chai Red Bush Teabags
Not my favorite. The redbush and the apple pretty much stop it from tasting in any way like chai. Still, it's good quality tea. It's just not a combination I prefer.
-
SPICED APRICOT SPECIAL BLEND TEA BAGS
I like apricot teas a lot! This is a good example, with a light, very sweet fruit taste enhanced by spices. Has a holiday feel
-
Berry Jamboree Tea Bags
This is a little bit too all-over-fruit for me to be able to tease out one berry flavor. Try it if you like a major dash of sweetness in your tea.
-
Cupid's Arrow Tea Bags
THis is a little sweet for me. Has a nice combination of candy-like flavors, like a cherry marzipan tart.
-
Black Raven Tea Bags
Great for goths! Nice strong black tea with a fruitiness that will cheer up your fans of Poe.
-
Russian Caravan Tea Bags
Again, I love this tea company for gifts and gift bags. This packaging is very cute and appropriate.
This is high quality black tea with a good rounded flavor.
-
Ginger Pear Tea Bags
I like the pear flavor, but I think the ginger overwhelms almost any tea it's in. Still, the pear gives the tea a fruitiness and sweetness. A good holiday tea.
-
Chanticleer Breakfast Tea Bags
I've never tried green and black tea blended together before. This is a great and unique flavor. I had to look up what "chanticleer", though. It means rooster, and this tea will wake you up.
-
Red Bush Chai Herbal Tea Bags
Sometimes you want chai but don't want the hit of caffeine. Personally I prefer decaffeinated regular tea to redbush, but if you prefer this flavor, this is a good one for you.
-
Baltimore Clipper Tea Bags
I have to give this brand credit for creativity and unique flavor. Interesting blend and super-cute packaging. Makes a great little gift for a history buff.
-
High Energy Tea Bags
Another unique blend. Lots of citrus and lots of caffeine. Perfect for a morning boost of caffeine.
-
Cranberry Tea Bags
If you are looking for something that has a Thanksgiving vibe and a knock-you-socks-off fruity-sourness, this is the tea for your. Unique flavor, strong taste.
-
ORGANIC JAPANESE MATCHA GREEN TEA
Again, this is a very reliable brand of tea. Good quality flavor. Well made and attractive packaging. Keeps well over time.
-
CARDAMOM - flavored black TEA
I do like cardamom tea as a flavor, especially if it's not just another kind of "chai". The tea is good quality and the spice adds some brightness to it.
-
Fruitytea Selection Pack
I love variety packs of teas. Getting to try out a lot of different flavors is a great way of finding out the range and quality of a brand. This is a good-tasting, high quality pack.
-
AROMATIC EARL GREY
Earl grey is a good, reliable flavor. This has a very pleasant, clean scent that is good to enjoy while brewing. Good flavor when sipping. If you want an extra kick put in two bags.
-
ROOIBOS & CINNAMON
I like teas with strong simple flavors so I quite like cinnamon teas. Sadly the rooibos just didn't do it for me. It interfered with the spice in a bad way.
-
MANGO MAGIC
I get more of a sweet and fruity flavor added to the black tea than a specific mango flavor. i do get a mango scent though.
-
Barooti Assam
Good tea with a rich flavor. It's has a strong flavor and a good amount of caffeine to wake you up in the morning. I don't know if it's noticeably different from other non-flavored teas.
-
LEMON VITALITY
Generally I like adding fresh lemon to my tea if I want lemon in my tea. But this is a good second choice to have the lemon flavor pre-added.
-
VANILLA TRANQUILITY
I'm usually not a fan of vanilla flavored teas but this was a nice one. Add plenty of milk and sugar to make it a treat.
-
VERBENA
I agree with the other people reviewing this. It's a very unfamiliar flavor but it's a nice floral-lemony scent and taste that's pleasant and soothing.
-
RASPBERRY & POMEGRANATE
I'm not getting the exact flavors of raspberry or pomegranate but it does have a fruity flavor that's different from the regular citrusy or apple-y fruit flavors.
-
gunpowder supreme
Good basic green. I can't really tell gunpowder from any other green flavor but this has a good peppery flavor and makes a basic cuppa.
-
STRAWBERRY MATCHA GREEN TEA
Very weird matcha. I would not choose it over a conventional green matcha tea. This has a sourness to it.
-
PRIMETIME
Surprised to see this get not-so-great reviews. It's not my favorite cup of tea but it's a good all-around flavor and a hit of caffeine. I prefer it strong.
-
PEAR & CINNAMON STRUDEL
I like that this taste is noticeably different between this pear flavor and an apple flavor in a more conventional tea. A nice change.
-
WILD STRAWBERRY
Honestly, I wish I could taste more strawberry in this. It's more of a citrus and fruit flavor than a specific strawberry taste.
-
CINNAMON HAZE
As most people have pointed out, the cinnamon taste is sharper and more pronounced than the tea but it depends on taste. If you like cinnamon, this is the one for you.
-
ROSEHIP, HIBISCUS & CHERRY
Fruit, fruit, and more fruit. A nice complicated herbal tea that has a nothing but endless flavor.
-
DARJEELING BLACK TEA
I keep seeing a it described as sweet but I don't see that playing out as an actual taste. It is a good flavor though. Rich and light.
-
ENGLISH TEA COLD BREW ICED TEA
Good cold brew tea. Turns out better than the usual tea bags that you dunk in cold water and just wait for.
-
RASPBERRY INDULGENCE
I like raspberry flavor more than a lot of other fruit-flavored tea. Not as sour as citrus and not as sweet as some of the other flavors.
-
Sea Buckthorn Candies
I really like a different flavor and so few brands do something really unusual. I appreciate this a lot. Can't find it anywhere else.
-
DETOX
I don't think this detoxes anything but it's a good herbal tea with some ginger in it for when you're feeling sick.
-
EARL GREY BLACK TEA BAGS
Can't go wrong with earl grey. A good rich tea with a bit of bergamot that has a rounded flavor and a bit of freshness.
-
ENGLISH BREAKFAST
Good quality tea. Strong flavor. A strong hit of caffeine that wakes you up immediately. I prefer this blend to most others.
-
Twelve Teas Gift
I love being able to try different things so this pack of tea is a great buy for me. It's a good variety with enough of each to get a real sense of what each tea is like.
-
EVENING TEA DECAF
Delicious tea with a citrus kick to it. Good for a soothing cup of tea in the evening and still sleep well.
-
MINT MYSTIQUE
Mint tea. What could be wrong with that? Nice cool-tasting but nice warm tea. Good quality.
-
GREEN TEA
Green tea. Can't argue with that. No bells or whistles, just a good quality tea that you can always pull out of the cupboard.
-
APRICOT SUNRISE
Love apricot flavored tea. A delicious sweetness that doesn't have a tartness or over-the-top sweetness .
-
STRAWBERRY & KIWI
I never taste the kiwi but the strawberry has a good fruity sweetness. I like this best as a cold brewed iced tea.
-
LEMON & GINGER
Best. Tea. Ever. If you are sick. This is exactly what you need to get through miserable nights with a sore throat and a stuffy nose.
-
MANGO & LYCHEE SOUFFLE
It's green tea with lychee and mango, which is fine, but "souffle"? Come on.
Fruity scent, more smell than taste of fruit.
-
SPECIAL BLEND
This is my preferred type of Earl Grey from this brand. The tea flavor is richer than the regular and it provides backing for the notes of bergamot that's very good.
-
CAMOMILE, HONEY & VANILLA
Another tea, limeflower, I liked a lot because it didn't have too many ingredients that interfered with the taste. This is the opposite. You get a mix of herbs without really a taste of honey or chamomile.
-
LIMEFLOWER
I had never heard of a "lime flower" tea before, so I really appreciate the chance to try something new. I also like that they didn't throw in a bunch of flavors so that you can't taste the novel ingredient. Very nice herbal tea!
-
KALAMI ASSAM
I can't really distinguish which tea blend is from where, but this is a nice-tasting tea with a strong kick of caffeine. What could be wrong with that?
-
PEACH & PASSION FRT BLACK TEA BAGS
I agree with the other posters that it's not the best. Probably people who like passionfruit (which is hard to find in tea) would prefer it without the peach and the same with people who like peach. But it's a change and it has a definite fruit flavor and scent.
-
IMPERIAL BLEND
To me it tastes like earl grey. Definitely has a citrusy-bergamot flavor to it. The tea itself is nice and rich. A good staple in your cupboard.
-
ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA BAGS
Good strong wake-you-up tea. Personally I like English breakfast more than Scottish or Irish. Never have it after noon.
-
APPLE REFRESH
I agree with others that is a good cold brewed tea. A good refreshing tea with a fruitiness to it that lightens the black tea taste.
-
STRAWBERRY VELVET CAKE
I like the strawberry and vanilla flavor okay, but it does not in any way resemble cake. There is no richness or creaminess to it. Which is understandable because it's tea, not cake.
-
JASMINE GREEN TEA
Green tea and jasmine is a classic combination. This is very good quality tea. The flowers don't give it a "perfumy" taste like they sometimes do, just a very nice fragrance while you brew.
-
WINTER CHARM
I mostly get a sharp taste from the hibiscus and a spicy one from the cinnamon. The apples are more a fragrance than a taste. Still, this is a very nice tea for autumn evenings.
-
Ceylon Tea
They changed the name to Sri Lanka but kept the tea name as Ceylon. I don't have the sensitivity to distinguish different regions but this is a high quality tea with plenty of body.
-
MIXED CITRUS
I like this one when I'm feeling sick. A good kick of citrus is great for sore throats and stuffy heads. Add a lot of honey to make it sweet.
-
CAMOMILE & LEMONGRASS
Good herbal blend. I like that you can taste the chamomile even through the stronger flavor of the lemongrass.
-
ENGLISH TEA NO 1 BLACK TEA
Wake up! This is a good strong-tasting blend. Most people have had english breakfast so you know how it tastes, but it's a good quality brand.
-
MIXED BERRIES & HIBISCUS
More of a sharp taste from the hibiscus than a "berry taste", although there are notes of berry and a nice berry scent. Good herbal tea.
-
LEMON & ORANGE TEA BAGS
I love citrus in tea, and for some reason adding a sweeter orange flavor is a great twist on the usual lemon-and-tea flavor. Hints of sweetness.
-
Yorkshire Red
Basic tea. It lasts forever so you can keep it in the pantry when you want a quick cup or if you want a change. Not delicate! But good strong flavor.
-
Tea Room Blend
I don't know that the flavor of this is special, but it's a good full-flavored tea. A little like one of the breakfast teas (English, Scottish, Irish). Rich, dark color.
-
CHINA ROSE PETAL Leaf tea
I love rose as an addition to a flavored tea. This is surprising and good. I thought that this brand would be less subtle with the rose flavor, but it's a nice hint without a "perfume" taste.
-
Green Tea with Lemon
Not my favorite. I prefer to go with earl grey or just add a squeeze of lemon to see how that changes the taste of the tea. Doesn't taste fresh enough. Good quality tea, though.
-
Ceylon Estate Loose Leaf
Tea from Sri Lanka that retains the name of Ceylon. A good blend, strong as usual from Taylors, and a rich flavor. This brand is my favorite "wake you up" tea.
-
Yorkshire Gold
Ooof! This is incredibly strong tea with a lot of flavor. (Good with milk or cream to make it a little milder.) Morning wake up tea for sure.
-
Delicate Green Tea
A very light green tea. Usually I only like black tea from this brand, because they're big on strong flavors and tea that will keep you awake but this is a good change.
-
Chamomile
A nice herbal tea. Like all of this brand, the quality is good, although I like a stronger taste and chamomile is mild so you might want to use two bags.
-
EARL GREY TEA BAGS
Who doesn't love a classic earl grey? Good strong black tea with a hint of citrus to brighten the flavor a little bit. I prefer loose leaf, but when you just want a cup and not a pot, this is perfect.
-
Peppermint
Who doesn't love peppermint tea in a mug on a cool afternoon. Always soothing and warm. Easy to make by just plunking a bag in a cup. Recommend.
-
IMPERIAL GUNPOWDER
Quite a good green tea. I find gunpowder green tea very satisfying. it's less messy and flaky and the little pellets are a nice texture. Good flavor and smell.
-
Decaffeinated Breakfast Tea
The flavor is fine, but why? Why decaffeinated breakfast tea? If there is ever a time to have caffeine, it's at breakfast. Good aroma and taste, though.
-
Moroccan Mint
Classic mint tea. Delicious for relaxing in the evening when you want to get to sleep. Aromatic and comforting.
-
Assam
The assam tea has a very strong flavor and aroma that will wake you up quick in the morning. The bags make it very easy to brew by the cup.
-
Pure Assam Estate
This will wake you up extra fast! Very intense flavor, so you don't have to worry about weak tea, and it has a good kick of caffeine.
-
Ceylon
Good lemony tea that you can add milk to without the milk curdling. This brand has consistent quality and strong flavor. I recommend it. I would say it's more of a morning wake-you-up tea, though.
-
LAPSANG SOUCHONG leaf tea
Good smokey flavor. I hate lapsang souchong teas that a light on the flavor of smoke. That's what you get it for! Warm rich tea taste underneath it. Good quality.
-
Sencha Shinrikyu
I didn't believe the "oceanic" thing at first, but it does have a tang that is kind of like salt. A good alternative to bland teas that all taste the same. Don't oversteep.
-
CAPE TOWN ROOIBOS
A good floral rooibos tea. Needs a long steep for all the flavors to come through over the tea flavor. Complicated and fragrant.
-
Jasmine Green Tea
Classic jasmine tea, fragrant and full-flavored. A good way to perfume the room as you make tea. Welcoming taste and smell. Good on a cold day to give you a smell of summer.
-
Emerald Green
I did try multiple steepings. I think it's best if it's only steeped for moments the first time. Still, it has a good flavor that is present for multiple steepings.
-
Sencha
I usually don't care about the intrinsic taste of tea. (Generally I like the flavor more.) But this tea is absolutely delicious. Mild and rich.
-
Green Leaf Rama Tulsi
This is another tulsi tea, which is basil and so tastes a little more like soup or broth than like tea. It can make a nice, soothing change from the usual herbal teas like mint or chamomile.
-
Red Bush Chai
Personally I don't like this one. Chai, I think, needs the bitterness of the tea to round out the flavors and redbush just doesn't do it. Decent quality, though.
-
lavender
Incredibly fragrant herbal tea. It's smells amazing and when it comes to the taste it doesn't have the "soapy" taste of some lavender teas.
-
Organic Liquid Jade
The tea is good quality. Good to sift it a bit before you add water to it. Whisking also helps.
-
ARGENTINIAN YERBA MATE
A kick of energy that has a good green taste. The mate is high quality. It is a little fussy to brew right.
-
CHAMOMILE LAVENDER
Very fragrant and floral tea. A lovely tea to have in the afternoon. Soothing to drink and it perfumes the entire room when it's steeping.
-
Pearl (Gunpowder) Tea
Dark color with I think a slightly rich flavor. No added scents to distort the taste. The pebbles are quite pleasing to shake into a tea strainer.
-
House Blend Tulsi
More reminiscent of a soup than a tea. It has a savory flavor rather than a slightly bitter or astringent one. Interesting change from your typical herbal teas.
-
Golden Monkey
This doesn't have a distinctive taste, at least to me, so it's hard to distinguish between it and other teas. It does, however, have a good flavor and no aftertaste. High quality tea.
-
Pitta Dosha Ayurvedic
I don't know that it does anything about metabolism, but it is a high quality tea. No caffeine, which is great for people who don't like to be kept awake.
-
English Breakfast
A tea really made to be solid, strong, and wake you up in the morning. I happen to like it more than Irish or Scottish blends. Definitely good for cold days.
-
FIRST FLUSH DARJEELING
Lighter and more pungent at the same time than regular tea. A good flavor and very high quality leaves.
-
GOLDEN TIPS ASSAM
Some times you want a deep dark tea. This is a good one. Has a mellow taste without being a light taste. Very smooth.
-
Green Earl Grey
If you're used to earl grey this tastes kind of "off", but it's a good alternative if you like citrus but don't want the caffeine of a black tea.
-
Organic Peppermint
Can't go wrong with peppermint. A good nighttime tea. Warm and comforting but doesn't remind you of toothpaste.
-
Baozhong Oolong Tea
I like oolongs because they split the difference between black, which has a lot of caffeine, and green, which can taste like the lawn. This is a very good, light oolong tea. Good flavor. Forgiving if you oversteep.
-
ROSE PETAL BLACK
I like rose tea a lot. This has a lot of fragrance but not too much. The tea tastes like tea and not like perfume. A very good blend.
-
WHITE PEONY
I was a little disappointed that it wasn't scented with peonies, because I love them, but it's a delicious, light white tea. Good for making a big batch and sipping through the afternoon.
-
Black Mango
Good black tea, but sadly the mango isn't a strong flavor. I've tried several black tea/mango blends and they taste like black tea with a little fruit scent.
-
CRANBERRY ORANGE
A very, very zingy tea. The rose hips and hibiscus do a lot of the work, but the berries and orange give it a fruitiness. Blast of vitamin c.
-
imperial white
I've been looking for a really good white tea for a while. This is a light flavor and light kick of caffeine. A nice mild tea that you can drink by the gallon without keeping awake all night.
-
Pear Ginger
The pear is more of a sense of fruitiness and the ginger is a stronger flavor. Good tea to add sugar to in order to get a dessert-y flavor.
-
500 Mile Chai
It's true. This is very strong chai that will keep you going for a long time. Very strong spice. Don't worry about diluting with milk. It will still keep you up.
-
Black Dragon Oolong Tea
This is a deep dark oolong tea. Good if you want something different and stronger than your usual. I like steeping a long time to get the flavor very strong.
-
rooibos
High quality rooibos tea. No flavoring, so be sure you like the flavor of rooibos! Comforting on a cool night.
-
Bamboo Mountain Oolong
This is a good floral-and-green tea that very much tastes like spring. It has a freshness that's extremely enjoyable.
-
Tea Forest Green
I have to say this has a deliciously green feel to it. Good for a mild kick of caffeine on a wintry day when you don't have much greenery around you.
-
silver needles
This brand consistently makes good quality tea. Silver needles is a nice white tea for a small kick of caffeine with a light taste.
-
HONEYBUSH
It's a pure herbal tea, so you better like honeybush on its own as a flavor or you won't care for this one. Good quality. Don't need to use too much to get a strong flavor.
-
Earl Grey
High quality black tea. Good rich flavor. The bergamot adds some snap to the deeper flavor of the black tea. A very good tea to have in the pantry.
-
Joy
A complicated special-occasional tea that's a blend of black and green and oolong teas with a hint of sweetness. Odd combination but a fun way to celebrate the holidays.
-
China Green Tips
Very light and herbal tasting green tea. Has a delicate flavor. Aromatic and flavorful. A great mellow tea.
-
Iced Citrus Bliss
Extremely, extremely citrusy-sour drink. A good warm-weather drink, or for when you have a sore throat that needs soothing.
-
Organic Iced Black Tea
A nice apple-cinnamon tea to have on hand on hot days. Sweetened flavor. Maybe more of a dessert-y flavor than a tea flavor.
-
Wild Sweet Orange
An intense but muddled flavor. Lots of different tastes, if you like something but complex, but it gets away from the citrus flavor that should be "sweet orange".
-
Chai Pumpkin Spice
I usually like a hint more "pumpkiny" taste to pumpkin spice flavors. Usually there is a hint of flavor but not really here. A good chai flavor, though.
-
Berry Blossom White
A nice white tea without an overwhelming flavor. I can taste a slight berry-ness instead of just generic fruit or citrus, like most white teas.
-
Green Tea Matcha Latte
A strange combination of flavors. Fruit-sour-sweet-green-tea flavor. Good for a change. Maybe not your cup of tea, though.
-
Chai Decaf Latte
A very nice dessert-y chai. Good to have in the evening as something sweet without any caffeine in it. Rich flavor.
-
Iced Passion Concentrate
Remember to dilute! A good hot-weather tea to grab from the fridge with a fruitiness and a sourness.
-
Peppermint Huckleberry
Not their best combination but a good green tea if you're looking to try something new. The berry and mint seem like they'd go together but they can be a little weird. Toothpaste-like?
-
Iced Passion
A nice pre-made sweetened tea to have in the fridge for hot days. Very sharp lemony-soury taste to it, with the sugar taking the edge off.
-
Turmeric Bliss
An herbal tea for turmeric supplement people who don't like turmeric. A big blend of flavors that can make a more earthy flavor more palatable.
-
Giant Peach
More generalized fruit flavors than specifically a pear flavor. A good tea to pull out of the fridge on a hot day.
-
Prickly Pear Cactus
More chamomile than any other flavor, but the cactus is an unusual addition to a very common tea. tazo does a good job of finding different flavors to mix into classics.
-
Juniper Mint Honey
I never had juniper flavored tea before. It's reminiscent of alcohol, not because the tea actually tastes of alcohol, but because the only time I taste juniper is gin. It's a good unusual flavor.
-
Organic Peach Cobbler
The flavor of the tea is very rich. The apple cinnamon is a great flavor addition. Most cinnamon teas are just "chai" but this is a alternative.
-
Lemon Ginger
This seemed like something that would be a little too sour for me, but there are a lot of different flavors, including pear, that give it a good fruity and complex flavor beyond just lemon and ginger.
-
Sweet Cinnamon Spice
This is a great cinnamon tea. Usually these teas are like chai or are cinnamon and ginger. This is a great orange-cinnamon blend that's a delicious blend for Christmas.
-
Decaf Lotus Blossom Green
I was expecting something more floral. This is almost more spicy or gingery and more savory than floral. A good mellow tea.
-
Organic Pan-Fired Green
Good if you like green tea but want something definitely different. A toasty flavor, not too unlike genmaicha teas.
-
Unsweetened Iced Mango Green K-cup Pods
A good refreshing tea with a lot of astringent and cooling flavors. Good for a summer afternoon cup of tea.
-
Matcha Mate Grapefruit
I like grapefruit a lot. It's a more sophisticated flavor to add to tea than just lemon. This is a very good green tea and the grapefruit addition is delicious.
-
Chai Pumpkin Spice Latte
I love pumpkin spice and pumpkin flavor and I'm not ashamed. Why not enjoy fall to the fullest when it comes around? I get as much pumpkin as I can and this is a very good quality tea.
-
Lemon Strawberry
I'm not getting a lot of strawberry taste, but it's good quality green tea.
Probably best if you want something astringent but don't want a huge kick of caffeine.
-
Chai Vanilla Caramel Latte
I feel so lazy and gluttonous having sugared up chai tea in the fridge for whenever, but I have to say: delicious. Good blend of spices. And for someone who usually drinks their tea plain, this is a treat.
-
Tazoberry
A good bottle to keep in the fridge and take out on hot days. The raspberry leaves give it a refreshing flavor that's good when it's too hot outside.
-
Zen
A good quality tea with good congruent flavors. The extra flavors give the tea a sweetness and warmness to the flavor.
-
Butterscotch Blondie
It's an interesting combination of flavors but it doesn't much taste like butterscotch or anything else. It's a tea meant to be sweetened.
-
Organic Golden Amber
Tea with lemon and sugar. Good to have in the fridge or cooler for hot summer days.
-
Organic Earl Grey Noir
I don't understand what's "noir" about it, but it's a very nice earl grey tea with a mild but present citrus flavor.
-
Golden Turmeric Latte
This is something you drink more as a "comfort food" if you like turmeric. It's spiced up with a little cinnamon and a creaminess.
-
Scarlet Citrus Rooibos
This is a citrusy rooibos tea. The rosemary is an odd addition, but put it apart from all the other citrusy herbal teas.
-
Chai Classic Latte
A very good pre-made chai. It's especially good for warm days when you need something cool and can get it out of the fridge. Quite sweet.
-
Organic Chai
I don't see how this is much different from regular chai, but if organic means something to you, this should be good. A good quality tea with full flavors.
-
Chai Oraganic
A good chai. This is unique in that I can actually taste the black pepper, giving it a kick that other chais often don't have.
-
Chai Chocolate
A chai-y tea with some chocolate added. I don't think the chocolate flavor is apparent in the regular tea, but if you add a lot of milk and sugar it becomes easier to taste.
-
Iced Passion K-Cup Pods
A decent tea. Lots of different fruit flavors and some cinnamon thrown in to boot. I would double-use it. It has enough kick for two cups.
-
Flowering Honeybush
I can't tell what all the fruit and flowers are, but I can taste the rooibos. I think there's some mango in there?
-
Organic Bramblewine
A fruity, citrusy, rooibos-y, herby, mess of a tea. It's an okay tea overall, but it's more a bunch of flavors than any special one.
-
Organic Baked Cinnamon Apple
I liked this tea quite a bit. Not too fancy. Give it cinnamon and apple flavor and call it cinnamon apple. Nice autumn tea.
-
Iced Blushberry Black
They say that the berry taste is the most overwhelming flavor, but I think the licorice root adds a lot to it, including a "cool" aftertaste. Good cooled tea.
-
Brambleberry
I generally don't like premade teas in glasses, or sweetened tea, but this was actually pretty good. Sweet and fruity, with a kick of caffeine but not too much sugar.
-
Sleepytime Honey
It's rare to find a tea with orange blossom in it. it's a good flavor with both a floral sweetness and a citrusy sweetness. Recommend.
-
Wild Berry Zinger
I will give them credit. They weren't kidding about the berry flavor of this one. I think there's pretty much every kind of berry and berry leaf in this one. Soury-sweet. Good tea.
-
Ginger Turmeric
A good way to get your turmeric fix without the mess. The other flavors make the taste, which can be medicinal, a little more complex.
-
Bengal Spice
A chai-y flavor. Good combination of spices and the chicory and vanilla round it out. May taste weird unless you add a good amount of milk and sugar.
-
Pure Green
Nice, if basic, green tea. 'Organic' doesn't really mean much to me. But the flavor is good and the bags are well designed (no spilling or weird dust).
-
Sleepytime Vanilla
The vanilla is a soothing addition to the traditional taste of "sleepytime tea". Sometimes it's too sweet but when you're in the mood it's just right.
-
Energy Tea Green Tea
It's rare that I actually *feel* the kick of caffeine when I drink tea, but this tea does it. Can't say much for the flavor but it wakes you up.
-
Peppermint Peak
This is a more complicated flavor than just regular peppermint. The carob and chicory gives it a rounded out flavor without adding the caffeine of regular tea.
-
Honey Lemon Ginseng
This is a good tea for when you're feeling sick and need a little pick-me-up but not too much caffeine. The lemon is good for sore throats.
-
WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT
A nice choice if you want white tea, which is tough to get at a lot of large tea companies. The "white chocolate" is not a good addition. Would have been better with just light flavors like peppermint.
-
Bengali Spice
Another chai-y type tea from Celestial. I don't think the carob is a good addition, but it's an overall good tea. This is especially good if you add a good amount of milk and sugar.
-
Sleeptyime Extra
I was sceptical about valerian as a relaxation or sleep aid. This tea did help me relax before bedtime. Don't know if it was just tasty tea and taking some time to myself or if the tea itself helped.
-
Cinnamon Express
This is another very very chai-y tea. It's nice, but if you want something that's more focused on just cinnamon, try more cinnamon-and-citrus teas, where the cinnamon flavor comes through more. Make nice chai with lots of milk, though.
-
Sangria Zinger
Sangria Zinger needs booze! But it's a good citrusy-soury-orange-flavor tea. Very good, especially when just a bit warm.
-
India Spice Chai
I actually like this more than regular chai. It has a sweetness and roundness given to it by the vanilla and the chicory that I personally enjoy.
-
Tangerine Orange Zinger
This has more of a citrus-acidic-astringent flavor than a specifically tangerine flavor. Good for a kick of vitamin C, though, and delicious sweetened with some honey.
-
Matcha Green
I have to agree with the other reviewer. This was a surprisingly rich but mild and well-rounded flavor. Very good tea, especially if you like matcha.
-
Lemon Chamomile
A good mix not just of lemon but of a number of citrus fruit. Usually I'm not a fan of rooibos tea but witha lot of lemon it can add a pleasant well-rounded taste to a tea.
-
Earl Grey Decaf Tea
If you like decaffeinated tea, this is a good version of Earl Grey. a lot of teas strip out the flavor if they lose the caffeine but this one has a flavor that's still quite rich with a strong bergamot taste as well.
-
Chamomile and Lavender
Chamomile and lavender have a slight medicinal feeling to them, but if you need a bit of relaxation and warming on a cold day, this is a good tea. The floral taste and scent are a good pick me up in the middle of winter.
-
sweet cinnamon black tea bags
A good, spicy black tea. It would taste like chai with some cardamom, but as it is it tastes more "christmasy". Ginger and cinnamon are the largest flavor component.
-
Green Tea Chai tea bags
I have to say, not the best combination. The green tea and the cinnamon and cardamom just don't work for me. But if you have unusual tastes, this does taste both like green tea an chai. Very few other tea companies do this.
-
CHAMOMILE MINT HERBAL TEA
Classic mix of go-to-bed flavors. The mint picks up the usually bland flavor of the chamomile. It also adds a bit of coolness. Good for warm nights.
-
CHAMOMILE MANGO HERBAL TEA BAGS
This is a surprisingly good blend. The chamomile, which would be bland, is given a tasty fruit flavor by the mango. Try drinking it in the morning instead of a second cup of high caffeine tea that might key you up.
-
LEMON LIFT Decaf TEABAGS
I notice that this tea has both a lemony and a creamy taste to it, which is odd but pleasant. If you want a tea with lemon and milk without curdling, this is a good choice. Don't oversteep with Bigelow.
-
White Tangerine
Got this as part of a free week of Communitea. I liked it a lot. It's very mild, both in tea flavor and in tangerine flavor, so it doesn't knock you out with intensity. The low amount of caffeine makes it overall a really calm, contemplative, soothing cup.
-
RASPBERRY ROYALE
A nice change from a standard cup of black tea. This has some good fruitiness to the scent and sharpness to the flavor.
-
Gyokuro
An intensely grassy tasting green tea, so it isn't my favorite. However, if you like "green" tasting tea, you can't do better. No aftertaste. Intense flavor.
Got it as part of a free week of communitea giveaway.
-
Perfect Peach Herbal Iced Tea Bags
Probably the best ingredient is the chicory. It gives a good roundedness to this cold brewed tea that is missing in a lot of others. The peach is refreshing. Give it a long time to brew.
-
Black cherry
I got this as part of a communitea sampler. Just enough for one mug, but it was tasty and had a strong fruitiness to it that lightened up the flavor of the black tea. Good for people who want strongly flavored tea.
-
Yunnan Pu Erh Gold
I got some yunnan as a free sample with my order. (A week's worth of daily teas.)
Usually I only like flavored tea, but I have to say this tea was wonderful. Very mellow flavor and mild taste but still flavorful. No bitter aftertaste. I think it's more expensive but if you really like tea it's worth it.
-
FRENCH VANILLA TEA BAGS
A good vanilla flavor that accents the strong black tea flavor. Don't oversteep so it doesn't get bitter. Try with milk and sugar.
-
Strawberry Tea
This tea has a strong fruity flavor that can contrast pleasantly with the slight bitterness of black tea. Good aromatics of strawberry.
-
PEPPERMINT HERBAL TEA BAGS
No fuss no muss. A good peppermint flavor (I often have to double up on bags for peppermint teas but not this time) and a good integrity on the bag. Easy to make mint that tastes nice.
-
GREEN TEA BAGS
I will agree with the summary. Green tea is simple. It's green tea. Occasionally, when every tea company combines a thousand different flavors, it's good to have a nice, basic cup of green tea made from a tea bag. Simple, nicely flavored, and soothing. This one's actually pretty good.
-
SPICED CHAI BLACK TEA BAGS
The flavor is delicious, but it would be better if it just included the spices and you added the milk or cream instead of letting the tea provide the creaminess.
-
Toasted Coconut Almond Bark
I was surprised how well the chicory root made the sweetness in the tea feel grounded instead of just "too sweet". It's not an everyday tea, but if you want a treat, it's a great choice and change.
-
Mango Green
The mango is very subtle, so if you want an overt flavor you might want to choose a different variety. However, if you want an intensely "green tasting" green tea with some subtle fruit flavor, and not be knocked out by a scent when you brew it, this is a good choice. Calm and flavorful but not too "fruity".
-
MINT MEDLEY
Have this in my pantry for when I don't want to deal with loose leaves for mint. It's a good reliable blend of mints for a relaxing cup. Double up on the tea bags if you want it especially strong.
-
FRUIT AND ALMOND HERBAL TEA BAGS
I like almond flavor a lot, but it was mostly lost in this tea. The fruit and citrus came through a lot more. I also think it needs the base of the regular tea to ground the almond flavor and scent. The almond scent was strong and nice, though.
-
Eggnogg'n Tea bags
The weird thing is I don't like eggnog but I like this tea a lot. It has a strange, spiced flavor too it and a bit of creaminess. I would recommend if you want something milky but don't have milk or cream on hand.
-
Darjeeling
This is my favorite of the Bigelow teas. I think that it has the most complex flavor and the strongest kick for regular black tea. Do be careful not to oversteep, though.
-
Earl Grey Bella Luna
This has coconut and creme flavors added to the citrusy sharpness of regular earl grey bravo. You can really taste and smell the coconut. That sweetness softens the bergamot a lot. A relaxing, if caffeinated, tea.
-
GINGER SNAPPISH HERBAL TEA BAGS
This is a good tea to have when you have a cold or a sore throat. Nice mix of herbs with ginger being the most prominent. Also a good cold weather evening herbal tea.
-
Pina Colada
Too many of the herbal teas are too strong on scent but not very strong on flavor. This has a strong citrusy-sharp flavor. I don't taste the coconut as strongly, but it adds a good note of sweetness.
-
Dreamberry
I got Dreamberry with points as an added extra to my order. It's a good rooibos tea, if you like green rooibos. The chocolate chips are a fun touch, and the aromatics of the berries help, but it's a fairly neutral flavor.
-
PUMPKIN SPICE BLACK TEA
I like this tea a lot more than other drinks that are "pumpkin spice" but don't in the least taste like pumpkins. This is a fun fall drink when you want something pumpkin-y.
-
Chamomile Vanilla and Honey
I don't generally like chamomile teas, but this was a great one. I think layering a number of flavors is a good way to make a bland flavor more interesting and layered.
-
Fast Lane
Weird. But good. The licorice taste gives a little cool freshness and sweetness instead of it being just a straight caffeine kick. Good for mornings when you just dump a tea bag in your cup and go, and don't have time to linger.
-
Spiced Espresso Chai
I had heard that there was a drink called "cofftea". Supposedly a trendy drink so I wanted to try this out. I'm not sure the flavors of coffee and tea melded that well but the spices really worked to make the overall taste complex instead of just weird.
-
Sleepytime Echinacea Complete Care
Although I don't believe that tea is medicine, there is something very comforting about the taste and smell of echinacea. It's a good tea to drink when you're feeling a little under the weather.
-
Caramel Apple Dream
The chicory is, I think, supposed to simulate the caramel taste of a caramel apple, but it doesn't get there. Also, sea salt is a bad idea. Would probably have been better as a regular cinnamon apple tea.
-
Sleepytime Mint
I thought this was a fairly standard tea until I tasted it. Looking at the list of ingredients I saw orange blossom. I think that added the sweet and flowery fragrance. Better than your usual mint teas.
-
Country Peach Passion
Another good peach herbal tea. I agree with the rest of the people here in that it's best cooled down and iced. I usually don't drink decaffeinated tea iced, but this, with its peach flavor, is the exception.
-
Black Cherry Berry
I agree with others that this tea is best when you drink it fresh. Don't leave it in the back of the pantry for a while. If you get it pretty fresh it has a good fruity flavor. Maybe double the back if you want it really strong.
-
Honey Lemon
Honey and lemon is the best combination when you are sick. Sadly, this isn't it at all. There is very little sense of honey, although there is "honeybush". Probably better to mix one up yourself.
-
Cranberry Vanilla Wonderland
I like this as an occasional tea for the holidays. ALthough some people don't like that it has stevia in it, I think it's a good change from teas that claim to be sweet or dessert and . . . just taste like tea. The cranberries are a nice sharp flavor too.
-
Almond Sunset
Love almond flavor. The almond oil is a very good addition. It makes the flavor more well rounded. The anise seed sets it off although it gives it a little bit of chai flavor, which you may or may not like.
-
Citrus Sunrise
The ascorbic acid is not a good addition. It tastes a lot less like citrus and more like fake lemonade. However, if you want a very strong sour lemony flavor, it's a good choice.
-
Sleepytime Peach
I agree with others here that this is best as an iced tea. The peach flavor comes out better when it's cold, and it's refreshing. I guess it's "sleepytime" because it doesn't have caffeine but this feels more like an afternoon than an evening tea.
-
Chamomile Lavender
Extremely floral, so it's something you need to be in the mood for. Don't double up on the tea bags. This one has a strong flavor all on its own. Good for cool afternoons in the garden.
-
Sweet Harvest Pumpkin
I actually like this tea, although I think it's key to drink it as kind of a dessert like one-off. It's not a regular tea for anyone. Add cream (not milk) and sugar to it for it to taste the way you want it to.
-
Roastaroma
I quite enjoyed this tea. Usually "roasted" teas with fuller, less spicy or fruity flavors are full of caffeine. This had a nice full flavor that you can drink at night.
-
Watermelon Lime Zinger
This is a good tea to serve iced. Most teas don't have as much flavor as they go cold, but this one seems a little off hot but perfect cold. Maybe I'm not used to watermelon being hot?
Pair it with another tea bag for a flavor kick.
-
Cinnamon Apple Spice
It's mostly cinnamon with some fruit hints. There's also a good amount of carob, which gives it a grounded, fuller taste. I steeped it for more than a few minutes (closer to 10 than 5) to get the full taste.
-
Nutcracker Sweet
Pretty good holiday tea. I don't see almonds listed among the ingredients, but I think there is some almond flavor in there. A good amount of sweetness, but doesn't try to be a "candy" flavored tea.
-
Madagascar Vanilla Rooibos
Only had this once at an office I was working at. The vanilla flavor is good and strong. Tolerant of over-steeping in a way black teas aren't.
Don't know why a lion, zebras, and elephants are on the box even though none of them live in Madagascar.
-
Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride
I agree with the other commenters here that you get the best results if you steep this for a long time (think 10-12 minutes) and use multiple bags in one cup.
-
Lemon Lavender Lane
I didn't always like lavender as a flavor, but with the right pairing I enjoy it a great deal. Lemon and lavender are a good combination, especially on a cold night.
-
Tropical Fruit Cool Brew
Cool brew is a good overall concept. I hate tea that's brewed hot and then goes cold, but brewing it cold can be flavorless. This is a good innovation. However, the tropical fruit isn't the best addition.
-
Citrus Sunrise Cold Brew Iced Tea
I think this is my favorite of the cool/cold brew line. It adds a good citrus flavor but unlike the lemonade the citrus accents the tea instead of overpowering it.
-
Decaf Sweet Coconut Thai Chai
Coconut is one of my favorite flavors in tea. I'll always try it out. I'm not sure that it blends that well with some of the spicier flavors of the chai, but overall this is a good flavored tea.
-
Half and Half Cool Brew
I like the cool brew line, since tea brewed when hot is a little overdone and cold is listless. Although I like other flavors, the lemonade is a little too pronounced here.
-
Raspberry Cool Brew
I like the cool brew line. In my experience, ice tea is flavorless when brewed cold and stewed-tasting when brewed hot. These teas dodge that. Also, the raspberry is a very good addition to the flavor.
-
Sleepytime Lavender
I never used to like lavender, but I'm coming around to it. The floral aromatics add something to the overall flavor and are soothing late at night.
-
Vermont Maple Ginger
I love maple as a flavor but this tea, as most teas, add too many other flavors to it. Cinnamon is understandable, but ginger? Gives it a bit of a medicinal flavor.
-
Morning Thunder
Oooof! I'm rating this as very good because it does what it says on the tin. It wakes you up. However, you might want to just get a cup of coffee. Also be careful of a caffeine headache when you switch back to tea.
-
Ginger + Probiotics
Pssssst. Probiotics are a scam. Pass it on. There isn't much to say about this tea except it's on trend. it is a bad trend.
-
Sleepytime Throat Tamer
I don't particularly like medicinal teas but I have to say this one does the trick by throwing everything at there. Lemon, ginger, licorice for cooling, and about a dozen other things. Comforting.
-
GREEN MOROCCAN MINT
We stocked these at a place I worked. A very nice, soothing tea that didn't give you too much of a caffeine rush but did keep you awake on a tiring day. The mint is a nice addition.
-
GreenTea
Good standard green tea. Not really anything to write home about but a good thing to stock an office with.
-
Matcha
I think matcha is a very bad tea to make into tea bags. Very few bags get the consistency or the flavor right and sadly, Celestial can't do it either.
-
English Breakfast
English Breakfast is a good basic tea for me. I like adding honey and lemon in the mornings to make it a little brighter than it usually is.
-
Candy Cane Lane
I like a good strong mint flavor. This has a little too many flavors to let the candy cane come through. The vanilla is a little much.
-
Cucumber White
I never thought that I would like a cucumber flavored tea, but it was a cool, mellow flavor to add to a tea. Very nice on summer afternoons.
-
ORANGE & SPICE HERBAL TEA BAGS
Usually I don't like cinnamon in teas, but this tea has a good combination of flavors. Too often people combine cinnamon with apple or berry. Orange and cinnamon has a very good flavor that I'm surprised other teas don't go for.
-
CRANBERRY APPLE HERBAL TEA BAGS
I notice teas like this always have rose hips and hibiscus so they can have a strong acidic flavor of some kind. I don't get much cranberry or apple out of it.
-
ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA
Have to be careful not to leave the tea bags in too long, which is difficult for me since I plunk them in and then go to get something else done. Otherwise a good basic tea.
-
Earl Grey Loose Tea
Although I quite like earl grey, and Bigelow is a good company, I prefer when using them to go with the convenience of bags rather than bother with loose leaf.
-
BROWN RICE TEA GENMAICHA
What I like most about this tea is it fills the house with the scent of popcorn. It's a very comforting smell to have around on cold days.
-
I LOVE LEMON HERBAL TEA BAGS
Very hard to get any tea that's lemony enough for me. Doubling up on the tea bags helped a lot. It's also good to mix in some honey to add to the flavor. Good night time tea.
-
Glazed Lemon Loaf
A good enough tea, but leans too hard on ginger to be reminiscent of lemon cake. It feels a little bit more like lemon and ginger medicinal tea.
-
Vanilla Bean Macaron
I think we need to give up the idea of "dessert teas". Although this can go well with a lot of sweetened milk or sugar, it doesn't have much of a creamy flavor or sweetness in and of itself.
-
Calm Chamomile
For something that says "calm" this has a lot going on. Chamomile, licorice, rose, berry, and a bunch more to boot. it's a fine tea, but it's a lot.
-
Awake English Breakfast
It definitely does what it says. This is a dark-tasting tea that wakes you up immediately when you take a sip. The flavor is good, and as usual the bags are good quality.
-
Organic Jasmine Green
A good green tea with a good floral flavor to it. The jasmine is more an aromatic addition to the tea than a flavor in and of itself. Good when iced.
-
Refresh Mint
Not a particularly strong tea. It has a mild mint taste but only a mild one.
Tazo makes very good quality bags, so there's no breaking or spilling into the tea.
-
Earl Grey
A very good astringent earl grey tea. The bags are good quality, so they don't break and spill tea leaves into your cup. The aroma is very good.
-
Hazelnut
Most of the nut teas from Adagio have robust tastes that you can identify. Unfortunately, the hazelnut flavor doesn't come through in this one. Instead it's a bit more of a roasted taste.
-
Lemon Zinger
As much as I like this brand, i was hoping for a little more lemon juice. I like lemon when I have colds, but I need a lot of citrus to calm a sore throat. I will have to stick with straight lemon juice.
-
EARL GREY BLACK TEA
A pretty good earl grey. Not my favorite. The tea behind it doesn't have as much as much richness as I'd like.
-
Green Tea with Pomegranate
I like the slight fruitiness but I can't place it as pomegranate, as opposed to any other kind of tartness in a green tea. Maybe just splash a little juice in your regular green tea.
-
LEMON CHIFFON CUPPA CAKE TEA BAGS
I love lemon as a taste, but I don't think that the rooibos complemented the taste of lemon for this particular tea. I would expect more of a creaminess to a "lemon chiffon" cake. The coconut was a good addition, though.
-
ORGANIC DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE MATE
I know that chocolate and matcha have been combined in many desserts, but I didn't think they complimented each other in this tea at all. If you like either, maybe seek out something that focuses on the flavor you like.
-
Vanilla Almond
A very good pairing. The almond and the vanilla flavors are very noticeable. Sometimes the tea can overwhelm the flavors so they are more fragrance than flavor, but you can taste them in this tea.
-
Strawberry Chocolate
This is a good pairing of flavors. Strawberry and chocolate always go very well together. This is a little watery for me unless you double up on tea bags but I like my flavors very strong.
-
ALMOND COCONUT MACAROON RED TEA
I think that the coconut flavors of this brand of tea work best. The coconut gives the tea a sweetness and a creaminess that most other ingredients can't manage. It also pairs well with both fruit and cream flavors.
-
Coconut Cocoa
This is my favorite of Republic of Tea's "chocolate" teas. The coconut pairs pretty well with a more chocolatey taste and the overall taste is more creamy than most other teas.
-
RED VELVET CUPPA CHOCOLATE TEA BAGS
I'm afraid I didn't like this one very much. The beet was actually taste-able. I didn't get much of a sense of chocolate. It mostly feels like a fruit-ish tea more than a creamy one.
-
STRAWBERRY CUPPA CHOCOLATE TEA BAGS
Although I think this is a good enough herbal tea, it falls far short of being a chocolatey tea. You might try using a lot of milk or doubling up on the amount of tea that you use for a stronger taste.
-
Black Tea
Well, it does it's job. This is a perfectly serviceable cup of tea and if you add some lemon or honey to it is not bad at all. Drink it plain or fancy it up yourself.
-
Gunpowder
I thought that this was a good smokey tea. It also has a nice green grassy flavor. A good choice if you think Lapsang Souchong is too dark.
-
Lemon Meringue Green
Extremely pleasant cup of green tea. It's a nice mild lemon flavor that actually tastes like lemon without the acidity of most lemon flavors. The vanilla and creme go surprisingly well with the citrus.
-
Coconut
A very nice tea to go with sweet things. The coconut flavor is strong, and the scent is even stronger. This is great for people who don't want to take a sip of a flavored tea and wonder where the flavor is. Not so good with savory snacks but good with desserts!
-
Rooibos Vanilla Chai
I got a few very nice samples of tea. I usually don't like chai, but this is a very good blend and adding a lot of milk and sugar to it to get a nice dessert-like treat.
-
Maple Creme Oolong
I like the taste of maple. It's a good aromatic touch to this tea that works well with the mildness of the low-caffeinated tea. Good as a treat for cold days.
-
Turmeric Bliss
Honestly I didn't like this one. I got it as a sample and the turmeric tasted a little "dirt like". I didn't get much of the rest of the flavors. I have heard that as it does ahve health benefits.
-
Citrus Mint Green
Although it's a good green tea, the mint flavor is a little lost. It adds a nice coolness to the aftertaste, but when you're sipping, you can mostly taste the green tea.
-
Gingerbread
Ginger isn't my favorite flavor for tea, since it takes over too much. This is a nice tea for if you have a bit of a cold. Add some honey and lemon to really get yourself through the sniffles.
-
Lemon Soleil
The lemon flavor is very muted. Although it's a good flavor, mostly it's just black tea. However, if you really want lemon flavor, you might just want to add some lemon juice.
-
PEACH
A good peach flavor, but it had a little bit of the dryness of citrus. The black tea gave a nice base to the rest of the flavors in this tea. All in all a nice aromatic tea for peach lovers.
-
Decaf Hazelnut Cinnamon Creme
It's a nice tea. I got it as a sample. Cinnamon is not my favorite taste in a tea, as it usually takes over every other flavor, but this one was fairly subtle. It's a good tea for a cold day or a holiday.
-
Hojicha
This is a serviceable green tea. It has a very nutty flavor, different from the grassy or herbal flavor of other green teas. It makes a good change if you want a different flavor but don't want the caffeine hitch of black tea.
-
Earl Grey Iced Tea
Adagio Earl Grey is definitely my favorite type of Earl Grey tea. It has a more mellow bergamot taste than most and definitely and the tea has a more rounded flavor. A large pouch makes is extremely easy to make this ice tea.
-
Wild Strawberry
A very good refreshing and mild flavor. Good to add sugar or even brown sugar to. The tartness is a great addition. Also a very pretty color.
-
Lavender Lemon
I'm afraid I'm not a fan of this one. It's has a good aroma but there is very little flavor. I was hoping for more of a lemon flavor, but it isn't a sharp flavor at all. The lavender is also more of a smell than a flavor.
-
Capricorn
Although this is a good serviceable tea there's nothing particularly memorable about it. There are other, more basic flavors taht stand out more. A nice kick of caffeine, though.
-
Lapsang Souchong
My dad's favorite tea. I got it for his birthday one year and he really loved it. I've tried it and I have to say you can taste the smokiness. For me, it's always a bit like drinking bacon, but if you like your tea complex and savory, this is the tea for you.
-
Blue Mango Iced Tea
This tea has butterfly pea flower in it. The flower creates a beautiful blue color when it is brewed, and if you have kids you can squeeze lemon in it to make it change color. It's a fun tea to make with the family.
-
Decaf Earl Grey
I thought this had a nice flavor, even if I usually like my tea with a kick. The citrus taste was good and strong. It definitely tasted like tea, which some decaffeinated teas don't. Good for the evening.

Apricot
Definitely my favorite black tea right now. Just the right hint of sweetness and a great aroma. It's perfect any time of year. A great staple for your cabinet.
-
Apricot Green
A very tasty green tea. I prefer their apricot black tea. This, oddly, has a more astringent flavor. But if you like fruit that's not overpowering, this is a great choice for green tea.
-
Almond
A very strong almond flavor that can compete with the strong flavor of the tea. Adding cream and sugar to it can make it feel more like a dessert than a tea.

Cupid’s Cup
Delicious herbal tea for the end of the day. Very sour-sweet. The color is beautiful, so pouring it into a clear glass is very pretty. Also the sprinkles are a nice touch!
-
Reindeer Fuel
Extremely strong tea. Great for a very cold day. You can taste the cinnamon and you can feel the kick of the tea. Will wake you up in the morning.
-
Kukicha
A very strong "green tasting" tea. Good for people who want to get a plant-like tea, not a darker and more caffeinated tea. Not my favorite but a nice change.
-
Almond Oolong
A very good, mellow green tea. Light on caffeine so you can sip it into the afternoon. The almond has a good soft taste that blends well with the oolong. If you want a green tea that's not floral or grassy it's a good choice.
-
White Toasted Coconut
Extremely fragrant and sweet. It has a candy-like flavor that can overwhelm the flavor of the tea. It's very good as a treat, though.
-
Earl Grey Bravo
My favorite brand of Earl Grey. It has a strong astringent flavor and is a good tea for first thing in the morning. Citrusy and refreshing.
-
Coconut Pouchong
My favorite green tea. The coconut adds sweetness and fragrance and stops the tea from being too "grassy". It is a great tea for a warm afternoon and won't keep you up.
-
Chestnut
Delicious on a cold day. Subtly sweet. Perfect to add cream and sugar to as a dessert. My favorite tea that Adagio makes.
