This tea is aromatic and tasty with a subtle bite from the cinnamon, which doesn't overpower the tea. I've had this tea both with and without milk, and I love it either way. The cinnamon is such a...

I'm curious to know whether the past reviews of this tea were based on Teavana's old Thai blend or the new Thai blend. The last time I bought Thai from Teavana, in spring 2010, it was still simple,...

View ArticleEarl Grey from Good Earth Teas
Picked up a packet of Good Earth Earl Grey from a store's tea basket, and I don't think I'll try this one again. While I love Earl Grey, this particular blend is quite citrusy and is overtaken by the...

View ArticleOrganic Earl Grey from Mighty Leaf Tea
A nice basic Earl Grey, but not quite as smooth as some of the more high-end varieties out there. Astringent (which is OK for some Earl drinkers), and satisfying, but not impressive.
View ArticleEarl Grey from Timeless Teas
Quite astringent for an Earl Grey, but mellowed a bit with milk. Peppery and bright from the bergamot oil, which doesn't get a lot of backup from the Ceylon tea - there's no strong black tea feel to...
