Review on ☕ Pack of 6 Bigelow Decaffeinated Earl Grey Black Tea Bags - 20-Count Boxes, Total of 120 Tea Bags by Nick Tucker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The BEST Decaffeinated Tea! Replaces my morning coffee.

I've tried MANY brands of tea over the years and Bigelow is absolutely the best. I love that they pack each tea bag individually, but the most important thing is the taste. This is the only IMO tea brand that leaves no aftertaste. I drink their decaffeinated green tea and mint tea regularly (both delicious, FYI!), but I've wanted to give up coffee, even decaf, for a long time. I know you can find plant-based coffee substitutes that swear they're just like coffee, but they're often made from barley and chicory (i.e. grains), which is also something I'd like to avoid. Organic cream like I do with coffee and see how I like it. First of all, thanks to Revain for these decaffeinated Bigelow teas! I searched all over Orlando, Florida and couldn't find her anywhere. And the price with subscription and save is unbeatable. While waiting for my order, I tried Twinings Irish Decaffeinated Breakfast Tea (bought from my local Publix; the only brand of decaffeinated black tea they sell), but it left an aftertaste and was too malty. I had to add cinnamon and my usual amount of stevia along with my creamer to make it drinkable. I've also tried Rooibos (look for the Rooibos Rocks brand here on Revain) and while it's excellent and I'll brew it as an iced tea, it just wasn't strong enough for my "coffee fix". But Bigelow English Tea without caffeine is just perfect! There is no aftertaste and a strong but mild taste. I only needed half the sweetener I put in my coffee and no cinnamon. By the time I'd finished my last cup of tea, the temperature had dropped to almost lukewarm, but the taste was as good as the first sip. Warm coffee, on the other hand, could be infused or warmed up. In fact, I like this tea BETTER than my coffee! I can also say that my stomach likes it more. :) I cannot recommend this or any Bigelow tea highly enough. Thanks again Revane for that!
