@Rinderend I mean if we want to split hairs, "herbal tea" is an umbrella term for any brewed plant product apart from camellia, (the tea shrub). So chamomille is a herbal tea. I think they probably did this because if he had to compare a cheap/expensive chamomille to a cheap/expensive rooibos for example, it would be a bit imbalanced. I probably couldn't tell the difference between a quality chamomille myself either so I don't blame the guy at all, since classical green tea and these exciting herbal ones are so different and have different qualiteas ;).

Mirian V informally herbal teas are tea, but they're not "true teas", because they do not come from camelia sinensis. in contrast, blacks, greens, oolongs, matcha (which are also green) all come from the same plant - they vary so drastically through factors like processing, cultivars, etc. in a technical sense, tea denotes the beverage that comes from camelia sinensis. you can prepare an herbal tea in the same method as a true tea, but as rooibos differs from chamomile in that they come from different plants, herbal teas differ from true teas in the same way. and even though green teas can taste so different from black teas/oxidized teas, they will ultimately always originate from camelia sinensis

Nicholas M i don't concur entirely with you - herbal tea is still "tea", in a way. it might not technically be correct, but a word's definition is as fickle as its practical usage. even in treatises like Shennong Ben Cao Jing are true teas classified under what we now call tisanes, as if they were just another herb. tisanes might not be the same thing as true teas, but to say they're not and never robs them of the full inherent meaning that the term tea carries. in this more realistic context, tea is simultaneously exclusive from & inclusive of tisanes.

Also depends on when the tea is harvested and not just handling of the tea itself.

Here's the thing Epicurious, if you're going to do comparisons you need to use the same exact type of teas! Two oolong teas that are totally different oxidation levels and leaf style is meaningless. The same goes for the two different style green teas and tasting earl grey alongside an unflavored black tea. You can do better! That being said, Emeric did a great job with what he was given :)

And while he did a great job describing the look of the teas and scents I was really hoping for some more in-depth discussion on what really makes a difference in flavour and is worth paying for. He mentioned it slightly with the herbal tisane. Also, Earl Grey is a flavoured black tea and shouldn't have gone up against a straight black tea. You could have separated them into two categories.

I assume you are from the states. If you want to consult experts in tea, you consult the Chinese, Indians, or Japanese connoisseurs. Farmers can really give you an idea about changes in their tea from year to year. It's fascinating. You learn a lot about the geography and changes in the soil. You shouldn't take the word of a US tea blender so seriously.Tea blenders tend to be the business of selling, in the United States... tisanes and carbolics are really pushed because it's what sells.... that's not tea (or at least, not good tea). Tea isn't big in the United States, you have to order internationally to find decent tea. Most of us are all drinking garbage, like a burnt $.99 McDonalds cup of coffee. Tea blenders elevate their standards (which costs money), when consumers change their tastes. Right now, the market in the United States is certainly growing... but it's not good enough to demand quality. People largely drink tea here when they are in the mood to feel fancy. We have a coffee culture. For now, we have things like Teavana and Harneys to give us a little idea. It's cute. Sometimes they have nice wares.

The most extreme difference I experience is with Japanese green tea. I have a obsession for it since many years. First I was shocked by the price, especially on really good gyokuro, but you can really tell the difference. If you have Kukicha, which is stem tea and a Karigane(which is high quality Kukicha) the Kukicha tastes much more dull, but with the Karigane you have lots of floral notes, which is amazing. But the most difference is with the second and third brew of your tea. Good quality green teas can be brewed 3 or even 4 times and still taste good(sure the flavor profile changes a little). But with low quality the second brew already is nearly tasteless.

Tieguanyin is a oolong... The lighter, "greener" variety of tieguanyin has a floral aroma and a very light color in the cup. The stronger, "blacker" variety of tieguanyin has a richer, roasted aroma. Neither of them tastes/looks like B in the green tea test, and the price point is too low for the typical tieguanyin anyway. I'm pretty sure Tea A in the oolong test is actually a mid grade light tieguanyin.

It's not too pricey, and it has a balanced yet unique flavor. The aroma is very floral, and the taste has rich roasted quality to it, with a sweet undertone that's almost like fruit, or honey.
