Thursday Tea Time - Coconut Chai, 'K?

This week - Zhena's Coconut Chai T-cups


Cost: $8.99 at Tuesday Morning (regular retail price/online:  $12.99) for 12 K-Cups
Caffeine: Yes
Type of tea: Black
Mix ins: Natural Bliss
Fragrance: Cardamon
Ingredients:  Black Tea, Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom, Clove, Orange Peel, Nutmeg, Black Pepper, natural coconut flavor, natural cinnamon flavor
Opinion: Why do I keep trying this brand?  Perhaps thinking a K-cup version might be better?  Most of my reviews have been either meh or thumbs down, with the occasional hardly praiseworthy "not bad".  They just don't have a strong taste or flavor.  And you can't really double up on a K/T-cup unless you dial down to 6 ounces instead of 8 ounces.  Don't take a sip before adding milk or sweetener.  This is not drinkable plain, and hardly once you add a slug of Natural Bliss.  I can hardly detect any coconut flavor either.  They get a point for calling it a T-cup instead of K-cup
