Diana MDiana M: Please don’t mail this box of tea in a padded mailer. It didn't survive the trip. Still, it’s my favorite flavor of Starbucks tea.

Grizzelle Studios: This is by far the best tea I've ever had. It has a blast of caffeen and GREAT BOLD flavor. I have a few friends from the UK and south Africa that says it's the closest thing to the "real" stuff that they have back home. If you're looking for something to replace coffee or an energy drink this will hit the spot. I bought a small pack at the grocery store first before buying it in bulk on Amazon. I went through that box in about 2 weeks. When I went back, it was on sale....and all out. I was SAD! I've since ordered it online and couldn't be happier. ONE WORD OF CAUTION: Don't let the tea steep fro too long as it will have a VERY bitter taste. I let mine steep for about four and a half to 5 minutes and it was perfect. Once I forgot and left it in for about 12 mins and I had to pour it out because it was too bitter. That's obviously going to depend on your own personal taste buds; however that was MY expierence. Hope this helped! ENJOY!

delicateflower152: If you are looking for an excellent basic tea - one without exotic flavors - then Tazo Awake Black Tea is for you!

I have been a tea drinker since childhood, but several years ago noticed that grocery store teas - Lipton and Tetley - did not seem as good as in former years. Further, I found I was getting queasy after drinking those teas. It seemed I would have to forego my afternoon cup of tea. Then my husband brought home several Tazo Awake tea bags; they had been a complimentary offering in one of the hotels in which he stayed. Tazo Awake was wonderful - it tasted just as I remembered tea tasting in earlier years. Additionally, it didn't upset my stomach; that was a real plus!

Tazo Awake Black Tea is an outstanding choice for anyone looking for an excellent basic tea. I particularly like it with cream and sweetner, but find it just as good without those additions.

Amazon is the only source from which I buy Tazo Awake Black Tea. The price beats anything else I've found and delivery - even with Super Saver shipping - is quick. I had my tea on Monday, and I had ordered it on Friday. Thanks Amazon!

Ravenant211: I have been drinking this tea for months now along with the Tazo Zen green tea. I love both flavors and have found that they make a wonderful iced tea (the only way I like to drink tea). I have found that if you cold brew this tea and the Zen green tea, they do have the flavor undertones that the box states. It almost seems to have a "solidness" to the flavor that seems to fit the breakfast concept well. I definitely recommend it if you like a nice smooth flavor to your black tea. I use the Starbucks Classic syrup in this tea and the flavor is perfect together (you can buy classic syrup in a bottle from almost any Starbucks location).

Just as a side for those who are interested. Cold brewing just means that you place the tea bags in the fridge in water and let it set, usually at least 3 hours. It's that simple! It maintains the full subtle flavor of the tea much better and is almost impossible to turn bitter or mess it up unless you use too many tea bags. This only works if you plan to have iced tea of course. I use 4 "Awake" tea bags in 2 quarts of water and let it set overnight. I don't remove the tea bags until I have drank all the tea. It's delicious...
