I absolutely love this blend! My French Press and Moka pots remain dormant now in the mornintg because II'm now drinking Jet Black nearly exclusively as my go-to morning wake up ritual. This blend is the perfect way for any coffee lover to learn to fall in love with tea. My wife tasted it and said: ""I would drink this instead of coffee." She has on several occasions...so now it's time to buy the 70 cup bag!

So far, there has not been one tea I haven't liked from August!

Love this tea! The espresso beans and roasted mate add great flavor and a little extra caffeine. I use this alone or sometimes I mix jet black with passage or painted desert.

It's alright for a once-in-a-while break from my morning coffee routine. I'm a morning coffee/afternoon tea person. Eventide is my top pick, but this can step in on occasion as a morning tea. I have not tried it with milk yet either, so maybe I'll give it a break. It almost reminds me of a incident at a restaurant a while back. I ordered an iced tea and it tasted like they brewed it through the coffee maker!? YUCK! So a faint memory of that. I'll play around with it a bit more and see what happens.

Since I’m not a fan of mate, I was very leary about tea. I wouldn’t have bought it but it came in the 10 box sampler. Reluctantly I brewed up a cup and was unexpectedly surprised. Very smooth, not bitter. Jet Black will be part of my next order.

Everything about this tea is a treat for the senses. The aroma is fabulous. The taste is rich and full but not at all bitter or harsh. The caffeine is a nice buzz to get your day started.
