Lipton K-Cups, Natural Energy Premium Black Tea 24 ct

Perfect addition to my kurig set up

Priced too high

I ordered these k-cups on a lightning deal thinking it was just like iced tea brew bags sold by Lipton, since this said unsweetened black tea and I know they're unsweetened black tea. I don't like tea with sweeteners or other fake flavors, so this seemed like a great option for afternoons at work, where it's not practical or desirable to attempt to brew an entire pitcher of tea. My package arrived today and I eagerly brewed a cup over ice later this afternoon. My first sip, I nearly spit it out--I was thinking "blech!" But once I regained my composure, I realized I didn't actually dislike the taste, it just wasn't what I was expecting. I cautiously took another small sip, and....well, I drank the whole thing and I kinda liked it. I can't quite describe this tea's flavor--I don't regularly drink any other hot teas besides green tea, so someone more familiar with black tea varieties may have a more accurate flavor description, but to me, it tasted slightly like chai but nowhere near as intense. As I write this, it dawned on me that it is somewhat reminiscent of the vanilla chai tea at Pei Wei. Yes, that's it! Vanilla but not sweet, chai but not all like "kaPOW! I'm Chai!!" I'm excited to have something different to add to my Keurig repertoire. I do still wish that Lipton would make a k-cup version of their plain ol' iced tea brew, though. Le sigh.

Good

It was exactly what I wanted

I had tried some other green tea pods and they were great but i couldn't find more of them so i tried these. They were ok, but just a bit too mild and slightly bitter tasting. I tried washing out my keurig thinking that might be the problem but it didn't change the taste. I tried adding some honey to it but then it just tasted really bad. Not a fan, i am tempted to just throw out the second box.

My wife loves these little pods! I love when she’s happy! I’ll order again!

When my wife bought her new Keurig there was a 3 box sample of this inside. As summer is near she decided to give this a try.She filled a large glass with ice and then 'brewed' her tea in the Keurig.She told me the flavor is 'spot-on' for freshly brewed tea - with an all natural, bold flavor. You could add some sugar or artificial sweetener if you need it but, being a purist, she prefers it as strong and pure as it is.This refreshing for anytime but will be great on a hot day sitting under our gazebo!. This costs a little more than a dollar a glass - the one I bought for her worked out to be about $1.09. She likes this a changed of pace - especially for the summer!She rated this a nearly perfect 9.5 to 10 out of 10 - it just doesn't get much better than this!
