I used to do the whole tea ritual before I bought a Keurig®, you know the one: boiling water, tea pot, loose tea,
strainer, cup and saucer, milk pitcher, extra hot water, sugar bowl. It
was a ceremony as much as a process. The
final collapse of civilization arrived with the Keurig® coffeemaker. Pour
in cold water, press a button, shove in a K-Cup®. Greet Satan. After all, the road
to hell is paved with convenience.
Anyway, the arrival of the Lipton® Tea K-Cups® made me realize how horribly overworked I had become, having to dip the teabag into the mug, take it out, find a place to put it...why labor endlessly when self-indulgence summons? I figured it was going to taste lousy but so what..? It will be easy! I popped one of the Lipton K-Cups in, pressed the button and... out came great tea! It must be the water temperature and the amount of time the water stays on the tea, or maybe it's the work of some old voodoo. It doesn't matter, I don't care. This tea is comparable to what you get when you do the whole teapot nonsense. It's full tilt boogie brewed tea and if any less effort was required, the K-Cups would come with a warning that you were about to sacrifice your immortal soul.

Indulge Black Tea

I thought this black tes was going to be just like the Lipton® Tea bags, since this said unsweetened black tea
and I know their unsweetened black tea already. There are some teas that I don't like to be sweetened and black tea is one of them. My first sip of this black tea was disappointing as it was not what I was expecting. This tea was more like a chi tea without so much of the delicious chi tea flavoring, just heavy on the vanilla. Vanilla
but not sweet, chai but not all like "BAM! Chai here!" Again, this is not what I was expecting. Once I regained my composure and drank more, I
realized I didn't actually dislike the taste, it just wasn't what I was
expecting.
Refresh Iced Sweet Tea
I can't get enough of this stuff. I love sweet tea and this one is just like some of my favorites! Having it in K-Cup® form is nice because if you brew it hot it's prefect, if you
brew it over ice it's perfect. You will not need to add sweeteners because this tea is, as I said already, perfect. It is just sweet enough without being too sweet or needing more
sweetener. I've tried lots of brew of ice K-Cups® in a variety of
flavors and this one beats them all. I will continue to buy it.
As always, these items were
samples that I received in the mail. I have not been asked to endorse
them but do so by my own choice.
