Flavored Black Tea

by Space Samurai » Dec 12th 07 7:23 am

I find this stuff to be the most booring thing possible. Mango peach blueberry acai super pomegranate spice tea = "no thanks" for me. I'm curious what others think.

I barely drink black tea, so flavored is a definite no-no.

If you want fruit flavor that bad, just eat a fruit– don't spoil tea with "natural" flavorings! :twisted:

Oh oh, I remember a poll over a year ago about sweeteners and tea, that got pretty fired up.

Like what you drink and drink what you like, but you won't find flavors in my cuppa.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Ah yes, I didn't mean to sound offensive, my previous comment was made only in jest. Never take what I say too seriously. :)

No offense taken, Scruff!:D

For me flavored teas are a fun occasional indulgence but they have to be a decent tea base to start with and then the flavor should be true to its name.

Aside from the fun factor, they are approachable for tea newbies and a great stepping stone for people trying to get away from coffee and soda as their regular beverages. Helping us draw in new recruits! Muhahahaha! :twisted:

So, what you're saying is that flavored teas are our marijuana? :twisted:
