I should have read the features of the tea. I love black tea and like really strong tea, but when I used the pod for the first time, it had a peppery smell to me. The taste was just so off. Please pay attention because there is an essential oil of Bergamot in it. God awful taste and smell for me. Not a fan of flavored tea or Bergamot.
Terrific flavor and strength. I use a strong brew with this to bring out the flavor even more, but I will note that I like mine with a Splenda and a touch of creamer. It's great either way.
