Bigelow Tea Seasonal Tea 6 Flavor Variety Pack, Mixed Caffeinated and Caffeine Free, 18 Count Pack of 6, 108 Total Tea Bags (Flavors May Vary)

BIgelow Constant Comment Tea helped me to transition from coffee to black tea. While both coffee and black teas contain caffeine, the caffeine in tea acts differently in the body than it does in coffee. The reason behind this is that black teas have additional ingredients that calm one's nerves yet at the same time provide an energy lift through the caffeine. Coffee, on the other hand, does not contain these calming ingredients, but instead causes a jiggery feeling to the nervous system. Also, the energy lift obtained from coffee drops suddenly shortly after consuming, whereas the energy lift in tea lasts longer and then drops very slowly.Caffeinated teas also contain health benefits not found in coffee according to some doctors and nutritionists.However, making the transition from coffee to tea, based on these factors, was not easy for me. The reason for this was that I Ioved the taste of coffee and disliked the taste of black teas - that is until I tried BIgelow's Constant Comment. This was a tea that I actually liked the taste of and still enjoy its flavor and aroma and drink it often.Today, having transitioned from coffee to tea, I am a tea connoisseur of all black teas. But, further transitioning did not occur until I learned to select and brew black tea after the fashion of the British. HOW one brews their tea, therefore, is just as important as selecting a good quality tea. Following are some of the things that I learned from them:1. Start with a good quality tea. Choose organic teas whenever possible. Tea and coffee plants are among the most heavily sprayed crops. And, brewing such teas releases the poisons directly into your cup of tea - not good. Nevertheless, I still drink tea that is not organic from time to time; however, I do limit the amount that I drink.2. Choose a cup made of glass or ceramic. Metal cups and styrofoam cups can negatively effect the taste of tea or coffee.3. Choose a cup that does not have stains or scratches. Bacteria can breed in dirty or damaged cups. This is not only unhealthy but can affect the taste of tea.4. Black teas should be brewed in boiling water in order to bring out the full flavor of the tea.5. Never use tap water or distilled water. Chlorine from tap water will give tea a bad taste and distilled water lacks oxygen and will cause the tea to taste flat.6. Never use reboiled water. Reboiling removes too much oxygen from the water; only boil enough water for one serving per cup.7. Let the tea steep in the cup for a full 5 minutes. This will give the tea a rich, full bodied flavor and will release all of the nutrients of the black tea. How strong or weak you make your tea should not determined by how long you steep your tea; instead, this should be controlled by how much water you pour into your cup.8. Never brew your cup of tea for more than five minutes. Over brewing will cause your tea to become bitter.9. Dipping the tea bag several times before removing the tea bag helps release the full flavor of the tea. However, squeezing the tea bag releases additional tannins into the tea causing the tea to taste bitter.So, enjoy your cup of BIgelow Constant Comment tea brewed and served in the style of the British

I drink tea every single day, usually multiple times a day, and this is my favorite flavor! It's stronger than regular black tea (maybe even a bit stronger than English Breakfast but not crazy bitter or anything), and I love the extra caffeine because I can't drink coffee every single day (hurts my stomach), so I use this in place of coffee. I honestly can't comment on the boost it gives, but that's because I could drink a Red Bull and then take a nap. I do it more for the placebo; I tell myself it has more caffeine, and that helps me get into more of a "Go Mode" in the morning or when I'm lagging in the afternoon. I drink it almost every day, and I love that everything is biodegradable. We put the used teabags in our compost bin for garden compost.TL;DR Amazing flavor, extra caffeine, reasonable price, environmentally friendly, and a forever favorite of mine!

I am not someone who usually goes the route of brain stimulating add ons to my drinks or food. However, this one just straight up works. The focus and clarity it promises are delivered. My brain simply functions better but without any jittery side feeling. Very much recommend, this is better than pricey other options. And great that it comes in individual sealed bags, which makes it so much easier to put on the tea caddy we have at our office.

This is a very mild-tasting tea that offers just enough caffeine to give you a bit of a lift. I've tried some other high-caffeine teas (that were VERY high in caffeine), and they all tend to be a bit harsh on the stomach. Not this one!I wouldn't say that this would keep you up late if you need to pull an all-nighter, but it will definitely help out in the morning if you didn't get enough sleep.

I've been in search of a good mint tea, well I found it. It's spearmint, so mild mint smell and flavor, it exactly like a stick of Wrigleys double mint gum, smells just like it. I add two tea bags, and it works for me, but the taste is superb, again soft not too strong or overwhelming. The perfect mint tea! You gotta try it. Has the caffeine to keep you up and running too, so very effective.

Good, not as good as Lipton

English Breakfast: "A flavorful blend of leaves from Ceylon and Kenya form the base for this black tea."Irish Breakfast: "A robust red-black tea with leaves from Assam and Ceylon. Suitably served with milk and honey."American Breakfast: "EXTRA CAFFEINE!"

My favorite daytime tea! I am a loyal Bigelow tea drinker and I drink this tea every day at work. It gives you caffeine energy but he L-theanine makes sure you don't get the jitters or trigger a panic attack! Thanks again for a fantastic tea Bigelow!
