This week - Celestial Seasonings Sweet Harvest Pumpkin Holiday Tea
Cost: $2.19 at Super Target
Number of teabags: 20
Caffeine: Yes
Type of tea: Black
Steeping time: Five minutes
Add ins: I tried everything - plain, Half & Half, a little sugar, even the Cinnamon Natural Bliss Half & Half.
Ingredients: Black Tea, Cinnamon, Ginger, Roasted Chicory, Natural Pumpkin Flavor With Other Natural Flavors (Soy Lecithin), Luo Han Guo, Cloves, Nutmeg, Natural Sweetener (Stevia Extract) and Pumpkin.
Fragrance: It did smell like pumpkin pie!
Opinion: I so wanted to like this. Alas, no. I thought it tasted odd. You could taste the cloves and nutmeg with a nice bite of ginger - nice. But then there was an aftertaste. Three times I tried this, three times I dumped it into the sink. I don't know if it was from the Luo Han Guo or the stevia. My bet is on the stevia. I don't like to use it because it does have a "different" sweetness, which can vary from product to label.
Rating: 0.5 (Useful as a potential potpourri?)
