This is a great tea. I add a little Stevia and a splash of soy milk and I have a Chai Latte. I also enjoy this tea with just a touch of honey. This is my pick-me-up tea.
I have never been a hot drink drinker (and I'm pretty old :)) until I discovered this tea. It is, hands down, the best hot drink I have ever had, and I drink it at least once a day at work and have every single day for the past 3 years! I think the reason I love it as much as I do is the combo I put together: I add one mini 1/2 & 1/2, one mini Coffeemate French Vanilla, and one packet of Splenda. O..M..G!! I think I have to go make another one RIGHT NOW!!!
I think I expected more because I have always been very happy with CS tea bags. This did not have a great brewed taste to it that I have come to expect from CS.
