Cost: $2.99
Number of teabags: 80 (!) tea rounds, vacuum-packed in two "gold" metallic wrappers

| Teabag "coin" from the gold wrapper. I was trying to figure out something witty to say about a tea- pot and gold and coin… Perhaps I need to drink another mug of this stuff and wait for a leprechaun to appear. |
Caffeine: Yes
Type of tea: Black
Ingredients: Black tea
Steeping time: 3 minutes
Add ins: Glug of Natural Bliss cream
Fragrance: Earthy
Opinion: The more I drank it, the more I liked it. Plain and black-no way. You really need milk and sugar, or that Natural Bliss. And make it light, almost matching the tan box color. It is very strong. Use two teabags for emergency caffeination only. I've even dialed down the steeping time, setting the timer for 3 minutes as soon as the Keurig starts. There is an almost astringent aftertaste if you brew it stronger or try it plain. I still prefer English Breakfast teas, but this isn't bad as soon as you figure out how to play with it.

| Whoa! Stand back! It's a beautiful reddish color, though! |
Rating: 3 - Would I buy it again? With 80 teabags?! This is probably a year-long supply for me, even giving splitting the box to my daughter. Though I do think this would be a fun St. Patrick's Day gift. As usual, the Trader Joe's box designs are fun, there is even a four-leaf clover on the side!
