Thursday Tea Time - Breakfast Served All Day - Part 2

After last week's posting about Harney's English Breakfast tea, I went back to a couple of Targets to see if any were
left on the Clearance shelves.  Nope!  But while shopping at Trader Joe's last weekend, I found their brand - 48 teabags for $1.99.  Worth a try!

This week - Trader Joe's English Breakfast Specialty Tea

Cost:   $1.99
Number of teabags:  48, in individually-wrapped paper envelopes
Caffeine:   Yes
Type of tea:    Black
Ingredients:   Black tea
Steeping time:   5 minutes
Add ins:   Splash of Natural Bliss cream
Fragrance:  Tea-y/Fruit-y
Opinion:   While not as strong as the Harney's, this is pretty good. It's not bitter.  I tried using two teabags and running it through the Keurig twice using the smaller cup setting in a larger mug and it was a bit stronger and still good.  However, I think the Community Tea compared to this is better for a basic black tea.
Rating:  3 - Not bad for the price, and with 45 teabags left, I probably won't be buying any more for awhile.
