Twinings Earl Grey Decaf

I was in the mood for a cup of tea this evening, so I reached for my new Twinings Earl Grey Decaf k-cup.


I love Earl Grey tea.  I love it!  I love the aroma, I love the flavor, and I love the warm goodness.  Mmm.  I used to drink this brand's tea bag variety, so I was looking forward to trying this k-cup!

The aroma while brewing was great.  A nice, pleasant bergamot aroma.  Mmm...my favorite part!  However, after it finished brewing, much like the other tea k-cup I tried, the flavor was bland, bland, bland.  Maybe it's my Georgia gal upbringing, but I like my tea to have a strong flavor, not taste like dirty water.  Every tea k-cup seems like it needs another two minutes to steep before it extracts all the flavor.  I have one more to try, but I'm starting to think that the tea k-cups are a lost cause.  =\

The lowdown:

Flavor:  1.  This tea was so bland.

Price:  10!  At $0.46 per cup, it's a great bargain.

Overall rating: 2.  Booo-ring!

Would I buy again?:  Definitely not.  I will be sticking to Tazo tea bags for my Earl Grey fix.
