This is the best tea, flavored or otherwise, I've ever had!! The aroma while it's brewing really whets my palate it smells soooo good. It's so smooth going down, it's the perfect tea for a cold winter night, with a light dessert after dinner, or my personal most frequent use, when I just can't relax, turn my brain off and go to sleep. One cup of this Mandarin Orange Spice tea is just what the doctor ordered. I'm so relaxed, warm and toasty inside, my eyes begin getting heavy just as I'm nearing the bottom of the cup. I do sweeten it and would love it if it was a little more naturally sweet, but everything else about this tea is perfection so that one little thing is so minor! And I just can't say enough about the aroma - I wish I could find something that made my house smell like this tea! Of course it's so delicious smelling, I might not ever get anything accomplished!!! Simply heaven in a cup.
This tea is perfect for the cold Michigan winter we are having. I have been having a cup in the afternoon when I take a break and in the evening when I am relaxing. I wouldn't want to have it in the morning when I am rushing around. It's too special. It's soothing. No bitter after taste. I highly recommend it.
Great go-to tea when you want to enjoy a cup of tea. Doesn't necessarily complement foods, but goes well with flavorful/non-dairy desserts like pound cake, chocolate, mixed berries, etc. The two best things I like about this tea is that it isn't sweet like a fruit tea and it isn't herbaceous like chamomile which I sometimes find "itchy" on the throat.
Well, not Keurig's fault - appears Bigelow is discontinuing their K-cup regular (vs caffeine free) Orange Spice. It was a 5* where as Celestial's is a 2 at best.
