Kona Pineapple
Cold brewed this is a great summer herbal tea full of juicy pineapple and hints of citrus.
-
Dreamberry
This was okay, fruity and round flavoring with flavors more distinct than blended.
-
Libra
I thought this tea might be too floral and chocolatey, but with a bit of whipped cream I thought this was a delightful well balanced cup. Just the right amount of fruit, floral, bitter, and cream.
-
Silver Needle
An unexpected and excellent tea. I do love the fuzzy leaves and sweet, honey suckle scent. Quite smooth, and a bit on the full-bodied side.
-
Jin Guan Yin
A surprisingly full tea, smooth and buttery. Looks like spinach, tastes heavenly.
-
Jin Kong Que
A pretty tea that is light and layered with no bitterness. A pleasant and smooth cup of black tea. 3 min at 212 degrees
-
Pumpkin Spice
Variety is the spice of life and this is a nice tea to add to the rotation though I prefer for the spice notes to be more forward.
-
Pu-erh Tahiti
An exotic tropical blend on an earthy pu erh foundation. Opposites must really attract because this is really tasty.
-
English Breakfast Extra Bold
An alright version of a classic morning tea with bold, malty flavor that pairs well with a bit of cream.
-
Turmeric spiced herbal tea tisane
Plain it is a bit musty, with whipped cream it is more mellow while still earthy.
-
Chai
Okay chai that makes a nice afternoon pick me up -- better with a bit of French vanilla or other flavored creamer.
-
Blooming Rose Black Tea
Just kind of a soapy, meh tea that tasted like rose petals and a bit of cardamom.
-
Earl grey citrus black tea
Citrus flavor was fairly mellow, but still a decent earl grey that pairs nicely with a bit of milk.
-
Applause CTC Assam Black Tea
A bold earthy black tea that is especially good with milk or as a chai. I bet this would be excellent as a cold brew too.
-
Formosa Pouchong
Delicate and floral, Formosa Pouching has a nuanced flavor profile. A refreshing, smooth tea perfect for an afternoon break.
-
Darjeeling Spring Tip
Unexpectedly light, crisp and refreshing black tea. Delicious with a bit of honey.
-
White Toasted Coconut
A very light creamy, smooth white tea with good toasted coconut flavor that has hints of marshmallow.
-
Year of the Rabbit
A sweet, lemony tea with creamy vanilla overtones and a light floral perfumey scent.
-
Toasted Mate
Each sip was a little bit different and kept me coming back for more. Will it be brothy, vegetal, earthy. You won't know until you take the next sip.
-
ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA BAGS
A nice straightforward black tea, good to start the day (also worked well for making Arnold Palmers)
-
Golden Monkey
Couldn't pick up on most of the notes in the description but did find this to be an earthy/hearty steep that smoothed out with a bit of cream.
-
Kashmiri Kahwa Masala Chai
This was a slightly astringent tea with strong cardamom notes. Also used this to make Kashmiri pink tea!
-
Cupid’s Cup
Too much hibiscus and rose hips for me to enjoy this tea. Just can't get past the tartness.
-
Buttermint
Honestly I keep trying, but I just can't get into this tea. Mint is present, but neither the vanilla nor the mint is particularly flavorful. I'll have to try it cold brewed and/or with sweetener.
-
EARL GREY SUPREME
A full, bold black tea well balanced with the bergamot -- a nice, well-rounded cup with a bit of milk.
-
Apple cinnamon herbal tea tisane
Complex mulled apple cider flavor with tart hibiscus follow through. Too harsh for me.
-
Ginger Chai Spiced Black Tea
Ginger, ginger, ginger comes through with every sip. A strong chai to start the day with.
-
Half and Half Cool Brew
Quick and easy to steep and makes a a brisk, refreshing lemony treat.
-
Sweet Cinnamon Masala Chai
This tea has a smooth, light body. Moderately strong cinnamon and a lot of cardamom too. Good served plain.
-
Vanilla spiced masala chai
Smooth medium bodied cup of tea with overtones of coffee flavor.
-
Lemon ginger green tea
A delicate crisp cup of tea with herbal and light citrus notes. Would pair well with honey.
-
Original Masala Chai
A robust, full bodied chai with lots of cardamom. Good plain, though a bit bitter toward the end. Especially good with a bit of cream.
-
Earl Grey Masala Chai
Much more a chai than an earl grey as the bergamot scent and taste is barely detectable. Mostly tastes like a good, strong black tea with cardamom.
-
Gingerbread Festival
This was good with a bit of eggnog (I was out of milk), but only okay served plain.
-
Always Nuts
A great herbal tea that is a little tart, a little sweet, and a bit nutty with a marzipan/cherry scent.
-
Casablanca Twist
A perfect blend of mint and green tea that makes a light, invigorating cup.
-
Spiced Apple Chai
An introduction to chai/gateway spiced tea. This has a nuanced apple flavor with subtle spiciness. Flavor comes forward as it cools down and good with a bit of honey too.
-
Maple Creme Oolong
Oolong comes through strongly with a bit of sweetness and a round almost buttery finish.
-
Tiger Eye
Tasted the cocoa more than the caramel. A decent, if not stand out cup of tea, with a bit of milk and honey. Probably best for blending.
-
Honeybush Pumpkin Chai
Worth the wait. At least 10 minutes for the spices to bloom, but once they do this tea is a spice treat.
-
Cream
Cream was the dominant note, a nice vanilla creamsicle note that mixes well with other robust teas.
-
Wuyi Da Hong Pao
Pretty full green leaves were lovely when unfurled and the liquid was a nice peachy-yellow color. Flavor was very light earthy-mineral.
-
bai hao yin zhen
Nice fuzzy leaves on this delicate white tea. Complicated melon/dry grape flavor. Finish was a bit grassy/musty.
-
Oriental Spice
A nice mild chai, grounded in earthy cinnamon and cardamom with light orange/ginger highlights. Most pleasant.
-
Cranberry Nut Muffin Green
Kudos to adagio for this tasty blend. The pouch smells like a bakery and while the different flavors are all subtle they come together for a great treat.
-
Pu-erh Chorange
Tastes like memories. With a bit of soy milk this reminded me of the milk chocolate whack and unwrap oranges available at Christmas.
-
Darjeeling Sungma Summer
A little bit astringent for me, but overall a good mid day cup to help get you through the afternoon.
-
Lemon Soleil
I was surprised by how much I liked this tea, I don't normally add lemon. This was a little bit astringent, but most crisp and refreshing for a midday pick me up.
-
Assam Melody
Robust, full bodied tea that's a touch earthy with a hint of cocoa and malt to it. Goes well in the morning with a bit of soy milk.
-
English Breakfast
This makes a great start to the day with a bit of soy milk added. Smooth and full bodied cup with a just a bit of maltiness.
-
PEACH & PASSION FRUIT
Nice peachy/passionfruit smell. Cold brewed this and it had good, but subtle flavor.
-
Peach Bellini
Divine scent out of the package. When hot the peach flavor was mild, but good.
-
Summer Night
Wonderful scent and light orange creamsicle flavor--more pronounced hot than cold brewed.
-
Pisces
Lovely citrus grapefruit scent out of the single serving package, but chamomile is the most dominant flavor. Light and tasty.
-
Fiery Cinnamon Spice
Disappointed with this blend, just didn't have much oomph. Will stick with the H&S version.
-
Yunnan Pu Erh White
Leaves are so fuzzy! Tea is soft and round with a very light and non-distinct fruitiness.
-
Masala Chai
A lot of clove and cardamom. Okay with a bit of honey and milk, but overall too much going on for me.
-
Reindeer Fuel
With a bit of cream, I find that I really enjoy this robust, hi caff tea with minty overtones.
-
White Monkey
Vegetal scent, but with a bit of honey this was crisp, delicate, and mildly grassy.
-
Honeybush Blueberry Pancake
The scent is spot on blueberry pancake with maple syrup. The taste is very light and not too sweet.
-
CITRON GREEN
Clean flavor -- a little bit of grassy/hay and broth flavor. The citrus notes were very subdued.
-
Holiday Cheer Collection
A nice mix of different types of teas. Each is individually wrapped, so there are no staleness issues.
-
JAPANESE SENCHA
Sample pack had a fresh, grassy, green scent. Tea had a grassy and mildly bitter flavor. Pretty traditional Japanese green tea.
-
Green Rooibos Blueberry
Fresh and bright blueberry scent when I opened the packet, very little flavor.
-
Honeybush Vanilla
Naturally sweet and enjoyable on its own or with vanilla soy milk for a creamy desert tea.
-
Jolly Roger
Nice by itself, better with some vanilla soy milk for a creamy, smooth naturally sweet tea.
-
Twelve Teas Gift
Bought this for the office. Good variety. The large box contains 3 smaller boxes with 4 types of tea. Each tea bag is individually sealed. Nice variety--these seem to steep very quickly.
-
Capricorn
Medium tea, with a good balance of maltiness and coconutty creme flavor. Excellent with a splash of milk.
-
Genmai Cha
The scent is like a toasted rice cake and the tea has a subtle earthiness. Very light and nutty.
-
Chili Lime Green
Not the tea for me -- chili oils hit the back of my throat and the burn lasted.
-
Minty Comfort
Little bit medicinal, with the eucalyptus and juniper, but nice herbal when feeling under the weather.
-
Green Chai
Heavenly scents of cinnamon, ginger, and clove, but sadly not much follow through after steeping. A light tea to be certain.
-
Throat Therapy
Soothing slippery elm, slightly medicinal, but nice when one has a sore throat.
-
Peppermint
Strong scent and lots of oils. Typically add this to other teas and have found it to be quite good.
-
Earl Grey Bella Luna
Tried this with vanilla soy milk. Found the coconut quite nice. Full bodied and round flavor.
-
Bella Luna Blue
Opening the bag, it has a nice lemon and blueberry scent. Light flavor and pretty blue color, but mostly tasted like lemon grass.
-
White Tangerine
This was okay, the tangerine flavor came through but it just didn't have the bright note I was hoping for.
-
Virgo
Really enjoy the apricot, light tea flavor -- subtle but very good. Low caffeine and can be enjoyed in the evening.
-
Green Tea with Mint Cold Brewed
Very light green tea flavor, the mint dominates. Overall refreshing.
-
Thai Chai
Robust black tea with a strong (cloying) coconut flavor. Didn't work for me, but if you like coconut this might be the right tea.
-
STRAWBERRY SENSATION
Strong, flavorful cup that has nice berry flavor without being overpowering.
-
Hibiscus Rooibos
Typically not a rose hips fan, but this was a nice juicy herbal tea -- very enjoyable.
-
PACIFIC PEPPERMINT CAFFEINE-FREE
Nice flavorful peppermint tea, not harsh, smelled wonderful.
-
CITRUS SPICE HERBAL TEA BAGS
Tastes as a good as it smells, nice blend of citrus and spice without any caffeine.
-
PEAR WHITE TEA TEA
The tea that got me started on white teas. Delicate floral fragrance and the pear while present is not overpowering.
-
DRAGON EYE OOLONG TEA
Surprised by how much I liked this, I typically don't go for black teas, but this was a nice, smooth beverage at the intersection of black and green.
-
HONEYBUSH CARAMEL HERBAL TEA BAGS
Not overly sweet tasting, a nice tea for afternoon or evening. Per Revolution website this is a caffeine free tea.

Orange Jasmine Tea
Not what I hoped for, strong vegetal and somewhat bitter flavor. Very little floral or citrus flavor.
-
Berry Blossom White
Nice light cup of tea with decent berry flavor. Convenient and good for the price.

-
White Eternal Spring
Something about the smell was off-putting, perhaps the rose petals had a hint of decay.
-
Earl Grey Green
Found thus refreshing and not too heavy like I sometimes find black teas. Crisp and zesty.
-
Green Rooibos Bonita
Strong, fruity scent and flavor. Very smooth with a bit of mango/apricot to it. Nice to have in the evening.
-
White Cucumber
Yummy, subtle melon flavor. Tried this on a whim, and I'm really glad that I did.

Very light white tea and not overly sweet. Great scent and blueberry flavor.
