This week - Celestial Seasonings Vanilla Hazelnut DESSERT Tea
Cost: $3.49 on sale at Whole Foods, regular price is $3.99
Number of teabags: 20 - individually sealed in attached double paper bags
Caffeine: No
Type of tea: Herbal
Steeping time: 4 minutes
Double Dipper potential: Yes, give it 6 minutes the second time
Mix ins: Sugar, milk. I tried it one time with fat free Half and Half and vanilla sugar - uh-uh. Sounded like a good idea, didn't taste as good as regular milk and sugar.
Teabag fragrance: Vanilla
Ingredients: Roasted carob, roasted chicory, milk thistle, roasted barley, natural vanilla and hazelnut flavors (contains soy lecithin), cinnamon, licorice, anise seed and vanilla bean.
Taste: VERY smooth, slightly sweet and vanilla-y, with hazelnut undertones. Medium color.
My opinion: Make a cup of this and drink to drown out the siren call of cookies. The warmth and sweetness help divert your attention and appetite quite successfully.
Would I go back and buy another box? Yes.
Rating: 4 teabags out of 5. Very desirable if you are jonesing for a hazelnut undertone.

What a fun idea! I think I'm going to have to make a list from your reviews next time I go tea shopping! :)
