Thursday Tea Time

This week, Lipton Vanilla Caramel Truffle

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.
