Black Tea
Black tea is the most commonly served tea in the Western world. Black teas are more oxidized than green, white and oolong teas, and are generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated. The additional oxidization also help to preserve black tea longer than other types, which can often lose their flavor after 1-2 years. For this reason, black tea was a common article of trade across the silk road between China and the Middle East and Europe.

Steven's review: "This Jungpana first flush is perfect for tea aficianados who may not be as interested in overly sweet, floral, or fruity teas, but rather desire something complex and a bit harder to put a finger on. It's a great drink." Read review » |

Zhena's Gypsy Tea Chocolate Jasmine
7.3/10 — 3 reviews |
Laura's review: " The primary flavor is actually a nice deep cocoa flavor that is similar to a darker chocolate flavor. The jasmine in this brew is almost an after-thought and really just adds interest instead of totally dominating the cup." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The jasmine flavor was not too strong, which was ideal for me. At a not-quite-hot-yet-not-quite-cold temperature, it was easier to draw out the chocolate flavor, and the jasmine provided a nice, clean finish. This tea gets points for its uncommon blend of ingredients. " Read review » |

Summit Tea Decaf Vanilla Mint Bliss
7.3/10 — 2 reviews |
Laura's review: "Flavored black tea options are hard to find for decaf drinkers and this is definitely worth purchasing if you are in need of a minty decaf. I would rate this higher if the vanilla was a bit more pronounced and I would like to tweak the mint blend a bit." Read review » |

|
Vanessa's review: "Like other berry teas I have sampled, this tea has a sweet-yet-tart flavor profile. I think this flavor is probably best compared to pomegranate or blueberry teas, having enough sweetness to keep your mouth from puckering, but enough tang to keep things interesting." Read review » |

KTeas Irish Sunrise
7.2/10 — 2 reviews |
Jamie's review: "I wouldn't expect this tea to grab hold of you and cause you to forget your other breakfast tea favorites but it's not a bad tasting tea, either. It seems to lack some of the oomph, maltiness and strength that the Indian black tea single sources or blends have set as my breakfast tea standards. " Read review » |

Kokomo Tea Very Vanilla
7/10 — 2 reviews |
Vanessa's review: "This flavor is spicy, much spicier than one would reasonably expect from a plain vanilla blend. The vanilla flavor, as a result, was much less detectable than I hoped it to be. Those searching for an intense vanilla flavor will likely be disappointed but if you are looking for a spicy tea with subtle vanilla undertones, give this one a try. " Read review » |
