Tea Review: Exploring ITEAWORLD's Black Tea Collection

I’ve recently taken a deep dive into ITEAWORLD’s black tea offerings, and let me tell you—they did not disappoint. Each tea had its own unique character, aroma, and depth, making this tasting journey unforgettable.

1. Keemun Black Tea
This is no ordinary black tea. Keemun was a pleasant surprise—lighter in body than expected yet full of complex flavor. It’s smooth, aromatic, and incredibly enjoyable both with and without sugar. I brewed it in a glazed clay teapot and sat outside to enjoy the moment. It’s the kind of tea that makes you slow down and appreciate every sip.

2. Jasmine Black Tea
This blend was perfectly balanced. As soon as I opened the package, I was met with a rich, floral jasmine aroma. Brewed at 203°F in my clay Kung Fu teapot, the tea had a wonderful harmony between the bold black tea base and the fragrant jasmine. It was elegant, calming, and deeply satisfying—no sugar needed.

3. Dianhong Golden Bud
This golden-tipped black tea from Yunnan is luxurious in every way. The dry leaves were beautiful and fragrant, and once brewed, the tea had a smooth, malty sweetness with a touch of cocoa. I used a 1:25-35 tea-to-water ratio and steeped for just 20 seconds per infusion, bringing out layers of flavor in every pour. This one feels like a tea to savor slowly and revisit often.

Each of these teas offered something distinct, yet they all reflected the quality and care ITEAWORLD puts into their selections. If you're a black tea lover or just tea-curious, I highly recommend exploring this trio—you won’t be disappointed.

I tried Jasmine Black. I steeped 3 grams in 12 ounces of boiling water for 3 minutes. I can really appreciate a black jasmine tea when it’s done beautifully! This was a lovely smooth brew of flavorful black tea kissed by fresh jasmine flower scent and flavor. I loved how the jasmine was so natural and didn’t smell or taste artificial at all. I also loved how the black tea was a little sweet and had no astringency. I would not have this with milk and sugar, as I think adding those would take away from this delicately flavored tea. If you already enjoy jasmine green teas, I think you will love this!

I tried Yunnan Golden Buds. I steeped 3 grams in 12 ounces of boiling water for 3 minutes. The more I drink golden bud teas, the more I fall head over heels in love with them! I love how this was still full-bodied, and also a little malty for me, but without the excessive maltiness of black teas that are more robust. This one was silky smooth and naturally sweet with lots of delicious golden honey and caramel notes, extremely aromatic, and no astringency. This would be perfect to have on a spring or summer afternoon on a sunny patio during lunch! This would be a great option if you like black teas that are a little more delicate and sweet. I would strongly recommend not over-steeping this one.

I tried Keenum Black. I steeped 3 grams in 12 ounces of boiling water for 4 minutes. This delivered a heavenly brew of sweet and slightly smoky notes with a bit of a floral finish. I felt like these notes married well and were nicely balanced, and didn’t compete with each other. This tea had a velvety mouthfeel with no astringency. No milk or sugar is needed for this one! I think this could be enjoyed all year long, no matter what season it is, any time or day, warm or cold weather. 😊

Yesterday I tried Jasmine Black (Scented 3 Times)
📍 Fengshan Town, Fengqing, Yunnan

Here are my thoughts:
This is a smooth and floral black tea with delicate jasmine notes that remain present through multiple infusions. Balanced and well-crafted, this tea highlights the beauty of both the jasmine and the black tea base without any bitterness.

When I opened the packet, the dry leaves gave off a slightly malty, earthy scent with just a whisper of jasmine. I brewed Gongfu style: 195°F | 20s + 10s x3 infusions. While brewing, the jasmine filled the air. It smelled lovely but I’ll admit, I was a little nervous. While I adore the scent of jasmine, floral teas are not usually my favorite. Too often, they taste like perfume. But this one surprised me in the best way and completely won me over.

The jasmine is clearly the star, but it’s delicate and beautifully integrated. It does not overpower the smooth, slightly malty black tea, which still shines through. This was my first time trying a black tea scented with jasmine, and it made me reconsider how I feel about floral teas. Maybe I do like them… when they’re high quality and well-balanced like this one.

Even after four infusions, the jasmine stayed present softer each time, but still lingering offering a touch of sweetness. I usually like my black teas lightly sweetened, but this one was perfect plain. It’s smooth, floral and lightly sweet, with a lingering maltiness that keeps calling me back for another sip.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Lapsang Souchong (Zhengshan Xiaozhong). The pine smoke aroma was not overpowering at all. Giving it a perfect marriage with the sweetness and adding to the character of this tea. Delivering a taste profile that I'm going to visit it again real soon!

I love the tea, and more importantly the way the people who care for these Old Mature trees is what drew my attention to the product they so lovingly produce.
Thank you!

I've recently gotten into tea and am just completely impressed by iTeaworld. Their tea is some of the best I've ever tasted and I lived in China for 2 years (I wish I was more into tea then!). I order to NJ USA and the orders typically come within 1.5 weeks. I am typically cold brewing the tea and I am usually drinking green teas but have gotten most of their samplers. Every tea is delicious and very clean tasting. I am hoping to visit their... orchards? The next time I'm in China. Their story is just what I'm looking for as well, they seem to be a company that cares not only about their tea but the environment. They try to do mostly organic and are taking initiatives to protect the groves of tea trees that they own and the mountains and soil that help them produce.

The wild green tea is incredibly fresh and vibrant, with plenty of fine tea hairs and a pleasant bean-like aroma. The wild white tea was such a delightful surprise—it quickly became my favorite in the wild tea collection. Even during the tea awakening, I could tell it was going to be a sweet and fragrant brew. It has a beautiful floral scent and tastes like honey water—truly aromatic and sweet.

The wild oolong tea carries a fruity aroma, reminiscent of dried apricots, and offers a lovely balance of floral and fruity notes when you sip it. The wild black tea is also impressive, both in processing and quality of the leaves. It has a hint of pine aroma and is very smooth and comforting to drink.

I have tried several teas from iTeaworld and have truly enjoyed them. Not only is the tea great, but the education and details on the site are outstanding. I love learning about tea and their website and blog is full of information on the tea, the details behind the tea, tea farmers, brewing methods, and teaware.

The tea that I received from them has been very good quality and I have had no issues with stale or old tasting tea. I still have about 10 teas from them in my tea stash and look forward to trying more of their teas over time.

As a company, they have been great to work with and have answered my questions or comments very quickly. I look forward to sipping more iTeaworld teas soon!

My experience with iTeaworld was excellent from start to finish. To start with, I had a little apprehension about ordering tea from so far away, but I wanted to get the best and freshest green tea I could get. I had a little issue with shipping. So I emailed customer service with my concern and got a speedy reply assuring me that my tea order was en route to my home. That gave me comfort and trust that my tea would soon be arriving. When it arrived, it was packaged very well. Upon opening the shipping box, I was so pleased to find that the tea collections I ordered were arranged and packaged in beautiful boxes. Included in the box was an abundance of high-quality empty tea bags I could use to make my tea. A presentation pamphlet explaining all about the teas, the growers, and the regions they came from. I was impressed, to say the least. Now, as for the tea itself, they are nothing short of amazing. It took me a while to even open a packet to try it because I was too busy smelling the bags the tea came in. 😆 They smelled so good. When I finally got around to opening the tea package, heating some water, and trying the tea, I was blown away by the taste and all the subtle notes and nuances, adding depth and complexity to the overall tea experience. I had no idea what really good tea was supposed to taste like. Thank you, iTeaworld, for my amazing teas.

I have been waiting for TWO WEEKS for my order. Still waiting
UPDATE :I received the product not long after this. iTeaWorld has been very good in communicating with me to make sure that I did receive it.

Very good communication, the tea is actually really wonderful. Will order again

I bought 2025 dragon well and waited for almost 1 months for delivery. But when I received it, the tea lacked the crispy green look I expect of the new tea. The taste is fine, but I wonder if I was given last year's tea. Disappointed, won't order again.

Excellent tea. Packaging secure.

High quality green tea. Shipping took awhile but quite impressed with the four types of green tea! Each producer is listed and a description of each variety.

Well done! If you enjoy green tea, highly recommended!!
