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 »		5.5/10
	Lynn's review: " A splash of half and half brought out the surprisingly complex flavors of spice, wood, tobacco, and honey sweetness. The finish was sweet and woody, with lots of mouth-drying pull that left me primed for the next sip. " Read review »		8.9/10

Tea Zone Kenya Milima Estate GFBOP

6.8/10 — 4 reviews

	David's review: "There's a woodiness/wineyness, with floral overtones, together with a bit of mouth-puckering astringency and a basic underlying strength of flavor." Read review »		6/10
	Jake's review: "Perfect for someone who usually finds black tea too harsh, but not necessarily the best pick for someone who enjoys the complexities of a 1st or 2nd flush Darjeeling" Read review »		7/10
	Shane's review: "A light tea with floral hints... but there's less body and flavor here than in other Milima's I've tried." Read review »		6/10
	Stephen's review: "A rich-tasting black tea that finishes clean and with a hint of natural, almost floral, sweetness. One of the better black tea experiences I've had in a long time." Read review »		8/10

SerendipiTea Obama 44 Inaugural Blend

6.8/10 — 2 reviews

	Katie's review: "I think they deliver exactly what they promise - it tastes like tea version of a hot apple pie with a bit of extra fruit bite added, though it smells more strongly of cinnamon than it tastes." Read review »		6.5/10
	Vanessa's review: "I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. For me, the apple-cinnamon component was most prominent, with the mango providing a sweet background for the apples and cinnamon." Read review »		7/10

Culinary Teas Irish Breakfast Green Tea

6.7/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:
"An interesting blend for those that would like to try a mixture of green tea leaves from different origins. Proper brewing is absolutely essential to avoid a harshly bitter aftertaste, but if brewed properly, this is a robust morning blend that can rival the typical black tea breakfast blends. "

Simpson & Vail Kenya Oolong

6.5/10 — 4 reviews

	Kari's review: "On the blacker side of oolongs with some malty flavors and a long finish." Read review »		6.5/10
	Katie's review: "This is a very different oolong, and I think your view of it would depend mostly on your personal preferences." Read review »		7/10
	Dan's review: "An African Oolong with some bitterness, but mellows out in the third steeping to a better cup. Decent, but not the best on the market." Read review »		5.5/10
	Vanessa's review: "Although this was, by name, an oolong, it was very different from any other oolong I have sampled. With its crisp and vegetal flavor, this is a tea that I would have pegged for a Darjeeling." Read review »		7/10
