White Tea (White Peony Tea) from Triple Leaf Tea
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5

This tea came from an estate sale (good places to find teas you haven't tried before, really cheap!), in its originally wrapped box.
You know, it's pathetic what some of these highly paid marketing consultants can concoct. I reviewed a loose-leaf Basilur floral tea whose packaging blatantly pandered to romantical...
Murchie's Afternoon from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Black Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5

This is also known as "Empress Afternoon" after the Empress Hotel in Victoria BC, down the street from Murchie's main tea store, and where this brand is served with ritual formality every afternoon. I see why. No English "afternoon" tea I've tried clearly beats this blend for darkness, richness and fullness of flavo...

Irish Breakfast from Trader Joe's
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Assam, India60 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

Not quite a match for a real Irish tea such as Connem...
Darjeeling (Loose) from Hampstead Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India43 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 11th, 2016
My daughter brought this tea back from a trip to England, so my "value" rating may be biased by the excessive price she paid in a souvenir store.
In short: not the best nor the worst tea I've had...tolerable..slightly below average. The flavor isn't bad, but isn't strong enough, and it just doesn't have a lot of ...
English Breakfast (Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 11th, 2016
My daughter came back from London with this tea packaged in little cubic tins featuring buses and other London sights. As such, my "value" rating is lower than it could be because she paid a tourist premium at a souvenir shop. I'd buy this without hesitation for normal American store prices.
One of the better lo...
