1st Infusion: The aroma to the tea is very broad and sweet. The tea itself is a clear brown hue. The flavor is very broad and short lived. There is very little to no aftertaste. The center of the tea is a nice solid black tea flavor. The flavor is broad, warm and enveloping. It finishes with a light sense of astringency.
Rating: 6/10
Conclusion: This tea is a pretty nice flavored black tea. The flavor is sweet, but very general. It is almost like sweetening a tea without sweeteners. The price isn't too bad for a flavored black, but isn't particularly inexpensive either.

I'd probably enjoy this tea for its natural sweetness. Anything to get out of wanting to cover the true form of the tea with additives like milk or sugar. I don't need the calories and other junk in all that. --Spirituality of Tea
