Great Value Earl Grey

So life has gotten in the way of blogging, and so I haven't posted in a while. Anyways on to today's entry.
This tea was on a close out sale so it was a steal.
Amount: 1 tea bag in 16 oz
Sweetener: None
Steep Time: 5 minutes
Smell: It has a slightly citrus auroma.
Taste: From the smell I expected it to taste bitter, but it was not. The flavor was not overwhelming and required no added sugar.
Stars: 4/5
Bottom line: This is a pleasant tea even without sweeteners. I hope the close out sale is because of a new box or size not a discontinued tea.

Santa's Secret (DavidsTea)

Ingredients: black tea, peppermint, sprinkles, natural and artificial vanilla flavoring.

Steep Time: 7 minutes Amount: 1.5 tsp per 12 oz Color: dark brown Smell: strong vanilla light peppermint Sweeteners: None Stars: 3.5/5

Taste: This tea has a strong vanilla snell that disappoints. The flavor of this tea is very mild black tea. I don't taste any vanilla and just a slight peppermint. The mild black tea isn't offensive like some black tea can be. 

Bottomline: This tea is ok it doesn't live up to it's description but still tastes good.
