Tea Review, Dahling
I am probably nearing the point of having tried almost every variety of Bigelow tea.
I would have to say, if I could get a room air freshener or candle that smelled like Constant Comment brewing, I would buy a bunch of them. However, the tea (with copious amounts of sweetener) actually drank more like black coffee. It gives you that little grimace when you finish a sip. Not great. Perhaps the orange zest tasted bitter.
It takes a lot of sweetener to get the Green Tea with Peach tasting right, but when it does it pretty much rocks the house. I would assume it is hard for the tea engineers to get peach flavor (all natural, I gather) correct, but they nailed it. Kudos to them.
Spiced Chai is kind of the workhorse of the family. Needs less sweetener, takes milk (even low-fat) very well, and has a pleasant warming quality. Definitely a blockbuster, but get it in a combo pack because it can get tired after a while.
Lemon Lift is a good entertaining tea. It’s good on ice, and it doesn’t offend. Many of these others are a bit avant garde for the uninitiated or non-impassioned. I would also say that it accepts sweetener at conventional Nestea levels. Very predictable.
More to come. I need to add a blog category for “Pretentious.”
