Opinion: Caramelized Pear was a disappointment. While the teabags smelled terrific, the brewed tea wasn’t up to expectation. No caramel taste at all. I actually thought it seemed a little bitter. Perhaps because I just noticed the can had an expiration date of June 30 2011. Someone here needs to go through her tea stash!

Perfectly Pear was
a delight. I think they improved the
flavor from earlier versions reviewed by other blogs. It had a very peary taste and flavor, which
barely needed any sweetener, if at all.
This tastes great hot and refreshing as iced tea.
