Tea products

Here are some of the tea products I tried:
Key Ratings: 1- not recommended,  2- disappointing and will not buy again, 3- maybe, 4- good and am willing to try again, 5- recommended.
Tea is tested on the basis of flavour and strength of the leaves. This was tested without milk.
1) Twinings tea- this tea is from London and is full of flavour. You can buy them for about $1.50- $2 for a pack of ten. Grade: 5/5
2) The tea drop tea- you can buy it online and it has a lovely aroma. They do have a wide range of flavours.
3) Southern Cross light herb teas- these have got a really strong sense of flavour and a strong body concoction. You can brew the leaves for hours and make quite a few cups of tea with this. You can buy packs at McIvers Coffee and Tea at the Vic market priced between $5-$14. Or you can buy them in kilograms priced between $75-$90 and they will last all year around. Grade: 5/5
4) Lipton tea- not as strong as the twinings and Southern cross light herb teas, but still a good tea to have. Price: $1.50-$2.20 for a pack of ten. Rating: 3.8/5
5) T2- Sencha tea- very expensive to buy. It is about $14 for a small cannister.
6) Lipton Chai latte tea- I had a free sample of this after buying a magazine and found it not to be very milky or frothy the way a latte should be.  it also was not as spicy as a chai should be . I had to add sugar to make it a bit more spicy. My guess is that it is $4.50 for a pack of 20 sachets at the supermarket. Rating 2/5
7) Madame flavour- this is a luxury brand tea with a hint of green tea and jasmine in there. I couldn't taste the pear in there because the jasmine flavour was so strong. But good for a high tea party. Rating: 3/5
