Jasmine Green
For a bagged tea available at the grocery store this isn’t bad. The jasmine notes overpower the green tea and this is extremely sensitive to overbrewing. For a quick cup of jasmine green on the go, though, there aren't a lot of better offerings.

Awake English Breakfast
This is my go-to bagged black tea. It is strong, high in caffeine, and not overly bitter unless you brew it a bit too long. Nowhere near as nice as a loose tea, obviously, but for a grocery store option it is one of the better choices available.

ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA
A decent bagged black tea without too much bitterness. This is a good basic option that takes milk and sugar well if that's your thing. Just keep an eye on the brew time.
-
Irish Breakfast
For a bagged black tea this is fairly standard. Not as strong as I'd expect from an Irish breakfast tea, though. Fine and drinkable but not memorable.
-
White Strawberry Basil
This white tea has a really lovely accent of strawberry, with a touch of basil to round it out. The basil isn't overly strong, and definitely works well with the berry note. I enjoy this one as a hot tea but where it really shines is chilled over ice.
-
Golden Flower
This is a really nice, lightly floral oolong that holds up to multiple steepings and is a great daily drinker. I've ordered several times and the quality is really consistent. The leaves are tightly curled and it is so relaxing to watch them unfurl during brewing and release their delicate scent.
-
JASMINE GREEN
For a bagged jasmine tea, this is a pretty decent offering. The jasmine is light and not overwhelming, adding a nice flavor into the base green tea. The jasmine aroma is strong, but the flavor is delicate.
-
Caramel Creme Brulee
This tea is a well-balanced blend of flavors that are still mild enough to allow the black tea to shine through. The caramel gives the cream notes almost a toasted vanilla kind of vibe. This is a warming, soothing cup of tea.
-
BLUEBERRY GREEN TEA FULL-LEAF
Blueberry flavor is muted and somewhat acidic. Base green tea is very mild and barely detectable in flavor. This may need a longer steep than typical greens, overall fairly bland and disappointing.
-
Organic Pomegranate Green Superfruit
This tea brews up almost hot pink with all the hibiscus. There is zero green tea flavor, it is masked by the strong pomegranate and the hibiscus. Very fake fruit flavor, almost like kool-aid. A coworker chose and purchased this, I'm glad I don't have to drink more!
-
GINGER PEACH BLACK FULL-LEAF
This tea has a nice natural peach flavor that isn't overpowering, and the ginger is a lightly spicy counterpoint. The black tea is mild and the tea flavor unfortunately gets a little bit lost in the shuffle; I'd prefer a little bit stronger black tea to balance everything out.
-
Chamomile
Standard chamomile, flowers are very broken up so small pieces in the bag. The flavor is fairly mild but not off-putting. This tea is nostalgia for a lot of people, but I'd still prefer larger flowers and fresher tea over this option.
-
SENCHA WITH MATCHA GREEN TEA
This quick-brewing green tea with matcha has a balanced flavor, but is delicate and can easily be over-brewed. The color is a very pleasant green, and the caffeine does seem to range fairly high with the matcha inclusion.
-
Blackberry Sage Oolong
I received this tea as a sample on a previous order, and really didn't expect to love it. However, the sage really balances out the blackberry nicely, and this has become a favorite that I always keep in my tea cabinet. The base tea is nice, not too astringent or bitter. I have had this tea iced but really think it is best enjoyed hot.
