Nothing like waking up in the morning and having a nice hot cup of tea with your breakfast. It is part of my morning routine each and every day. I usually drink green tea daily, so when I was asked to review Choice Organic Black Tea I was quite excited to try something new and taste something different, than my same old green tea routine. I chose to drink this tea with milk and sugar. The taste is amazing! Very smooth and calming. I also tried a cup with no milk and sugar and I was pleased to enjoy the flavor on its own.

The caffeine level is about half of the amount of caffeine that is in an 8 ounce cup of coffee. The origin of this tea is from India and Sri Lanka. Brewing instructions for hot tea are, boil fresh water, steep in an 8 ounce cup of water for 4 to 5 minutes and enjoy! I add milk and sugar, but I’m sure honey, lemon, or flavored creamers can be used as well. For brewing iced tea, brew double strength, two tea bags to every 8 ounces of water. I did about 32 ounces of water and added sugar and ice cubes. It was absolutely refreshing and now I am hooked! Touch up glass of iced tea with a slice of lemon and you have perfection!
