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.

Great Value Donut Shop and Natural Bliss Coconut Creamer

Right off the bat I could smell this would not be one of my favorite coffees. Initially it was bitter, I planned on trying out the Natural bliss coconut creamer so i set aside a little to try with just sugar. The sugar did not help. I tried some with just the creamer, because the creamer was already pretty sweet. The creamer did cut some of the bitterness but I still needed to add sugar to make this cup enjoyable. I brewed this in a Keurig and use raw cane sugar to sweeten it.
Bottom line this is not a coffee to have black. This coffee needs sugar and cream to tame down the bitterness and make it enjoyable. The non dairy creamer was great. I tasted some on its own and it is sweet and creamy just what you want to use in a cup of coffee, if you are dairy-free.

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
