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.

Seattle's Best Portside blend
Brewing this cup brought me back to being a kid. It smelled just like my dad's coffee brewing. This is a basic coffee not great but not bad, it isn't pricey making it a good everyday coffee. This is a cup that tastes great no matter how you drink it, black it has a slight bitterness but it isn't overpowering. Adding sugar enhances the coffee flavor in the best way possible. Creamer tames the bitterness making it a good chuggable cup. I used the drip coffee maker.
Bottomline this is a good everyday kind of coffee.

Just Black- Black Rifle Coffee Co
This is a cup I can enjoy Just Black, like it's name suggests. There is no bitter after taste and it has a nice smooth taste with a strong aroma. I brewed this cup in a drip pot freshly ground bean to a medium coarseness.
Bottom line i would suggest this cup to anyone who loves coffee black or with sugar.

Great Value Hazelnut Coffee
Okay this coffee is pretty good as far as cheap coffees go. However the hazelnut flavor is very artificial tasting but if you do not add a lot of sugar it is pretty subtle. This would not be my go to coffee but it will do in a pinch. If the dough isn't there for the coffee fund this is a satisfying cup.
I brewed this cup using my reusable Keurig cup. I added 2 spoons of raw cane sugar.
Bottom line: not a go to cup but will do if low on funds

Snipers hide
I know this blog is called Tea Loving Wolf but I'm on a coffee kick. So today I ordered Snipers Hide from Black Rifle Coffee Company. First I have to say I love this company, they are veteran run and partnered with other veteran run companies. They have special blends that benefit different charities. I subscribe to the coffee club opting to receive a surprise blend each month. this months is Just Black but I am reviewing last months Snipers Hide.
Snipers Hide is a light roast coffee, (the lightest roast they offer) it is a blend of Columbian and Central American beans. I brewed my cup using a reusable K-cup and my Mr Coffee Keurig. I opted for the whole beans and ground mine fresh this morning.
This coffee as a pleasant aroma, it is subtle but reviving scent that makes my mouth water. With only a small amount of cane sugar added this coffee is smooth. I do not get a bitter after taste but a pleasant coffee flavor coating my tongue with a lasting yumminess.
Bottomline I would most defiantly recommend this coffee to a coffee lover and/or coffee novice.
