Lynn's review: "This could easily claim the title of "heavy cream oolong" rather than just milk. It tastes positively fattening, like French vanilla ice cream. The good news is, of course, that tea has virtually no calories, not even this one." Read review » |

Lynn's review: " What I ask of any flavored tea is natural flavor and a balance of those flavors and this is a delicious, delightful example of both. " Read review » |

Lynn's review: "There are so many kinds of "sweet," I had to ponder a moment to define this one. The closest I can come is the sort of clean, silvery sweetness you taste in spring water fresh from the source, mixed with fresh grapes and a touch of raw coconut." Read review » |

Lynn's review: "Golden Needle Yunnan is a beautiful sight to see; a fluffy, downy, gently twisted mix of light and dark slender golden leaves. American Tea Room's Organic Yunnan Golden Needle is no exception." Read review » |

Lynn's review: "The flavor of the first artichoke-green infusion was wonderfully robust, at once sweet, bitter, and definitely vegetal— a mix of arugula and asparagus with a touch of honey and cream—and I mean that in the best possible way" Read review » |

|
Lynn's review: "A number of this purveyor’s teas have made me go “Wow!” and this was one of them. The flavor was a zingy balance of smooth, light, slightly spicy black tea and a pronounced tangy apricot presence that complimented rather than overpowered the tea itself. The finish was strongly apricot and saffron. " Read review » |

Lynn's review: "The website listing refers to Provence as “aromatherapy in a glass” and it's a good comparison. It has a clean, crisp fragrance akin to good potpourri, which this mix really sort of is. You could tuck little pillows of it into your dresser drawers with good effect. " Read review » |

Dan's review: "A perfectly-named tea, evocative of so many warm, sweet, comforting pastries that a cup (or three) sits just-right on this brittle, cold winter day as I write. " Read review » |
7.5/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "To me, the cup tastes like a pastry with a bit of almond drizzle and cinnamon in the fold. Though it leans a little heavier on the almond flavor than it might sound. " Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "This tea has a strong almond flavor component which is complemented by the sweet cinnamon flavor. This tea has presence; the flavor is strong and enduring." Read review » |

Geoff's review: "The fruity and nutmeggish notes didn't manifest 'til the 2nd infusion, which - at double the steep time - I thought was better than the first." Read review » |

Troy's review: "A strong "Muscatel" Darjeeling that actually exemplifies Muscatel." Read review » |
9/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "The taste is indicative of the fragrance and delivers the sweet muscat that I look for in a good Darjeeling. I did find this to be a bit more earthy and rich than most Darjeeling leaves that I have tasted." Read review » |

Raven's review: "On the palate, this spirited bright amber brew shone with oaky acorn notes tinged with mulled wine and some hop type floral flavours that seemed refined but not quite distinctive. " Read review » |

Shaiha's review: "I never understood just why Darjeeling was considered to be the champagne of black teas until I tried American Tea Room’s Puttabong SFTGFOP1Q Darjeeling Muscatel. Suddenly it all came clear to me and now I understand why Darjeeling has so many fans." Read review » |

Dan's review: "This is a winning tea that far exceeds that of the first flush crop from earlier this year. It's sophisticated and delicate, while remaining bold in flavor. And most importantly: it's delicious." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The flavor is well-rounded and offers grainy, nutty, and vegetal notes, all of which are well complemented by the subtle natural sweetness of the matcha." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "The lively and improbable golden green fluorescence is immediately appealing, even more so when a deep inhalation of the tea impresses you with homey scents of toasty rice." Read review » |

Laura's review: "It really does taste exactly like melons less that slightly acidic taste that accompanies eating actual melon." Read review » |

 |
Kari's review: "The melon flavor which is more complex then others doesn't overpower the sencha. " Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "The melon flavor is intense and almost sickeningly sweet. Because of the strong melon flavoring, it's pretty much hard to taste the green tea base." Read review » |
6.5/10 | |
|
Jamie's review: "The tea itself is sweet and smooth, the sencha is ideally matched with the fruit scenting as it's mild but full bodied with no astringency and no distinct oceany or umami elements that might ring strangely with the melony flavor." Read review » |

Lynn's review: "As soon as I opened the envelop, the scent of fresh cut melon rose to my nostrils. And I’m not waxing poetic— it literally did." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "The leaves emit a sweetly floral and even creamy scent. Infused, the liquor is palest green with a glow that begs to be enjoyed before sipping. The flavor of the tea follows very closely on the heels of the scenting." Read review » |

Emma's review: "The one word that comes to mind for me when drinking this tea is 'exquisite.' " Read review » |
9.3/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "The vanilla was very authentic, smooth, and natural, and was without a trace of artificial flavoring. I enjoyed this tea, however I would have liked to have seen a better marriage of vanilla with the gree tea rather than a mild green tea being overpowered by such a strong vanilla component. " Read review » |
6.5/10 | |

Jamie's review: "Overall, the vanilla is creamy and sweet and the green tea base lends a little extra mild sweetness and is a surprisingly good match. " Read review » |

Jamie's review: "The color of this tea is remarkable. Glowing viridescent but with an entirely bright yellow tinge; drink it on a cloudy day and you can't help but feel that spring is just around the corner." Read review » |
6.5/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "In my opinion, the Sencha is the true star of the show. It is mildly vegetal, smooth, creamy, full bodied, slightly bitter and even a tad buttery!! The Sencha used in this blend is definitely of a higher quality than what you are going to find in most flavored green tea blends." Read review » |
9.50/10 | |
|
Lynn's review: " I had the sensation of small pieces of tart fruit slowly dissolving on my tongue. The dark, vegetal, slightly bitter flavor of the sencha was well balanced and contrasted well with the fruit. Between sips the peach flavor really came to the fore, as if I had just bitten into a slice of fresh raw peach—and then sipped some sencha." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "A sweet and fruity tea that blends sencha grassiness with peach and passionfruit flavors in a surprisingly smooth way " Read review » |
8.4/10 |
|
Lynn's review: "This tea has a very good first cup, but the bergamot wins in the end and only the first steeping of the Darjeeling could stand up to it. For a one-shot, however, it's not bad. " Read review » |
7.8/10 |

Dan's review: "Vegetal, buttery, hearty and enduring - this rare early-harvest Sencha is a bold contender, jockeying for a spot in your stash of green teas." Read review » |

Katie's review: "Even as I am writing this review long after drinking the tea, I find myself almost as pleased with the memory as I was with the cup itself." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "The tea develops a wonderful creamy viscosity to it after a short time sitting. With its verdant glowing color and superb sweetness, this is a tea that can do no wrong." Read review » |

Troy's review: "Sort of like a blend of Matcha and Sencha, but with just Sencha..." Read review » |

Lynn's review: " It is then scented and flavored with what smelled to me like Tahitian vanilla to produce a sweet, buttery, vanilla-and-caramel aroma that reminded me strongly of really good caramel corn. " Read review » |

Katie's review: "Overall, I did find this to be a brave and well done mix, and while I like it, I'm not in love with it." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The vanilla flavor is sweet and true, but the hojicha base had an earthy aftertaste that negatively affected the blend of flavors." Read review » |

Lynn's review: "While this Grand Yunnan Imperial is a bit unusual and not unpleasant—in fact, not bad—I just didn't find this to be quite what I want from a Yunnan." Read review » |

|
Raven's review: "Surprisingly a true ode to the bizarre antics of kabuki theatre with surreal blue green leaves and starring a bold candied cherry flavour while rich strokes of marine from the sencha round out the chorus. Although entertaining, the medicinal quality of the cherry notes are an unforgettable performance." Read review » |
7/10 | |
|
Sophie's review: "A flowery concoction that is quite sweet, with the overbearing flavour of cherry simple syrup. However the Sencha used is its saving grace as it punches through with a clean, vegetal edge." Read review » |
6.1/10 | |
|
Laura's review: "If you like an overtly floral tea paired with a quality tea base, then I would recommend this to you. " Read review » |
7/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "The fruity-floral additions and the grassy green tea blend quite harmoniously to produce an easy-drinking and satisfying green tea; a high-quality and well-blended cherry sencha that I would not hesitate to recommend. " Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
|
Lynn's review: "The syrupy fragrance persisted and pervaded the flavor of the tea, still very candy-like, but the sharp, vegetal edge of the sencha did find its way through, cutting and balancing the sweetness much better than expected. Nonetheless, the cherry candy fragrance won in the end, lingering strongly in my mouth and nose. " Read review » |

Katie's review: "This is not the sort of tea I could drink regularly, nor could I sip it without thinking, but it is a great Gyokuro when appreciated fully." Read review » |
7.4/10 | |

Vanessa's review: "This tea's flavor profile was primarily vegetal and brothy, but there was an ever-so-faint melon-like sweetness present, which made the tea a well-rounded offering. " Read review » |
7/10 | |
|
Dan's review: "Overall, this tea wasn't very enjoyable for me, in so much as it's too "fussy" for my personal preference. I enjoy high quality teas, of course, but when something bucks the usual procedures this much, it becomes a bit of a hassle." Read review » |
