Review on ☕ Bigelow Vanilla Chai Black Tea Bags - Pack of 6, 20-Count Box, Caffeinated & Delicious Flavor, 120 Tea Bags Total by Brian Carrizales

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not only a great tea, but also has a very strong nostalgia.

Not only is it a great tea, but it has a very strong nostalgic feel to me. My mother and grandparents drank this tea (according to Wikipedia it has been around since 1945 and I think it has stood the test of time). My mother used to tell me stories about how her grandfather, a WWII veteran, would make tea in the morning and keep a tea bag for the whole day (she claims it would have enough for 2-3 cups or most of the day). ) . I grew up drinking the same tea and have always loved the tangy orange flavor that sets it apart from the other black and green teas in our cupboard. As an adult, I kept buying it, keeping room in my cupboard alongside my more expensive craft teas from Teavana or Whole Foods. When I brew it, the smell always brings back childhood memories and nostalgia. Over time the tea isn't as strong as it used to be (less tea in the bag) but the taste is the same and hopefully never changes! This is a cherished classic for me and many others.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • old
