Taster’s Review:
This is another tea from my tea stash that for some reason I seem to have a lot of it. I think at one time, this was my go to tea in the mornings at work. I rarely drink it anymore but I’m on my mission to drink up some of this tea I have so here we go!
Awake is one of the better Tazo teas in my opinion. Just be careful with it. It turns on you quick and becomes very bitter.
I brewed the tea up like I do my black tea-212F-3 min. I let this cool off for a few minutes and took my time enjoying the tea.
This may not be the black tea around, but its tasty! I like the bold yet subtle nature of the tea. There is a nice malty feel in each sip and there are no hints of astringency around. Just smooth rich black tea. Another no mess no fuss tea that is perfect for those busy mornings or when you just need to do a grab and go kinda tea. What is also great is that most grocery stores carry this tea so it is easily accessible.
I’ll be happy when I can proudly say “SIPDOWN” (when all the teabags are gone). But this isn’t such a bad tea to drink this afternoon. It is definitely giving me a bit of a pep in my step for the afternoon.

Taster’s Review:
I have always been curious about Good Earth teas. My brother used to drink these like they were going out of style and would never share. Well, this time around its my turn not to share.
This is a unique sounding tea. I find that pomegranate flavors and cherry flavors are often blended together in those throw in water bottle powders like Crystal Light.
This tea could be compared to Crystal Light’s Cherry Pomegranate in just about every way actually. . I cold brewed this tea hoping that the sweet smell I was getting from the tea bag may tone down a bit while the green tea would step its game up and show its true colors. That unfortunately didn’t happen.
Cold brew this tea has a lovely light purple color with a kool-aid like flavor. There are very strong notes of a cherry and pomegranate flavor that really resonate and take over the tea. Unfortunately, the green tea flavor seemed masked and after even taking another tea bag and trying to hot brew it, it seemed I had the same results.
For what an on the go kind of tea, this would be nice to change things up. I could also see this being great for kids with its remarkable close taste to juice. Overall, I was glad I was able to try it. Gave me something different to drink this afternoon.
