Thursday Tea Time



Cost: $2.99 at Kroger
Number of teabags: 20 - those cool pyramid kind.
Caffeine: Yes, 35mg
Type of tea: Black
Steeping time: 3 minutes
Mix ins: Sugar, milk
Teabag fragrance: Caramel, especially stronger after brewing.
Ingredients: Black tea, caramel powder, corn starch, natural flavor, sunflower lecithin. 90mg of antioxidants
Taste: Caramel first, then a touch of vanilla. Smooth, but with a black tea after-kick.
Opinion: Not bad, especially good for Lipton. The string around the bag threw me for a loop. Literally, it is looped twice around the pyramid. Once again I managed to pull out the cord, thinking it was another one of those drawstring type. Sigh.
Rating: 3.5 out 5 teabags. It's not bad. Not ecstatic wonderful, but not trashcan worthy either. I think this would be a good box to bring into work and leave in the breakroom. If they are still around when you get the urge for it, fine. If not, no tears.

Bone-chilling cold! I'm no longer used to it - after more than 30 years your blood thins out. We should defrost after Monday, hopefully!
