Orient Organics Masala Chai Tea - Diamond in the Rough

Dax: Orient Organics Masala Chai tea is a standout in the brand.  After their decrepit attempt at Tropical Green Tea, Orient Organics went back to the drawing board and produced a mammoth of a Masala Chai.  Now I did not add the token milk and honey to this Chai Tea to make a Chai tea latte, I wasn't feeling so hipster at the moment.  I took the chai right to the head, tasting the natural glory that it emits.  This is really a tasty chai tea; it plays with a well-balanced flavor, medium-average ingredients, just the right amount of spice whilst you sip, and a lingering aftertaste on the back of the throat that can only be complemented with more tea.  Orient Organics Masala Chai tea is a gas station delight. 

Rating: B+

Mike: Orient Organics teas haven't been the best so far but things are about to change. With a few teaspoons of sugar and a little milk and creamer, this Masala Chai Tea from Orient Organics transforms into a force to be rekoned with. Steep this chai tea the entire time, no way to oversteep this one. Of course, nothing in a teabag can come close to the taste of a masala chai tea done the correct way, but this is about as close as you're going to come. Orient Organics, way to hoth.

Orient Organics Tropical Green Tea - False Flaggin' the Funk

Tropical Green Tea ReviewsMike: Tropical Green Tea seems like a hot commodity. Mighty Leaf, Revolution Tea, and several others have their own variants. It was the little known Orient Organics' time to have a go with this popular blend. If Mighty Leaf's Tropical Green Tea is skydiving, then Orient Organics is like jumping off a diving board. Smells nice, solid presentation. Comes in a nice pyramid-like satchet very similar to Lipton's infuser teabags. Once you dive in you it tastes pretty watered down. Get it? Watered down? Doesn't live up to the dream. But hey, nice bellyflop off the diving board.

Dax: Off top, Orient Organics is going to have to muster up quite a performance to stand tall next to the competition for best tropical green tea. Welp, they already lost points from the Transylvanian judge for funky opening smell. Steeping Orient Organics tropical green tea is strange, as it doesn't seem to be the right color. On to the taste, which resembles some sort of stale Juicy Juice from '05. I can't put my finger on this fruit flavor that I taste, but upon reading the ingredients, I see that it must be the cornflower blossoms or sunflower. Interesting. It's like when you play tackle football and accidentally swallow a dandelion. No bueno.

Orient Organics Mango Black Tea - Beautiful on the Outside...

Orient Organics TeaMike: Orient Organics Mango Black Tea is most reminiscent of one of those horror flicks you see quite often. A family moves into this beautiful new house, the kids love it, the husband and wife are happy to have a change of pace. Then they start noticing that all is not well in this suburban paradise; the kids complain of objects moving and ghastly visions of folks in civil war uniforms, the teenage daughter, Stacy or Tiffany, falls mysteriously ill, and finally the wife starts freaking out and begging to move out while father stubbornly insists that these are all coincedences while experiencing doubts himself. Inevitably, the house was built on an ancient Indian burial ground. Anyway, how many times have you seen this movie? Many, I'm sure. Now let me explain how all this relates to this Mango Tea from Orient Organics. Like the house, the Mango Black Tea is beautiful from the outside. It features a diamond semi-porous diffuser bag and is nicely individually packaged. You move in...I mean uh take a sip and you begin noticing that something is off. There is a faint taste of cardboard or sawdust. The more you drink it, the more these disturbing subtleties come to the forefront. You start picking up on staleness and eventualy you've had enough, so you decide to move out, I mean pour out the rest of the cup.

Dax: Orient Organics is another one of the "gas station goodies", or so I thought.  With its multi-million dollar packaging, I was pleased to pay individual packet price for this mango black tea.  Orient Organics Mango Black is a straight up impostor.  Out of all of the mango teas that we've done tea reviews for, this one gets lapped twice in one race.  The taste of black tea is average, but the mango is just a struggle and a half.  Don't get me wrong, I steeped this guy to perfection, and just couldn't get the flavor that I believed was coming from its premier steeping unit.  Oh well, not everyone can be a Trader Joe's or a Taylors of Harrogate.
