How is it, after decades of tea drinking, I haven’t tried this grocery store staple? (Or how is it that I’m so senile I forgot?)
At any rate, this was another pay-it-forward contribution at work. Flavors perform as advertised, but on its own, it was too sweet for my taste. However, paired with a bag of plain old plebian Red Rose to temper the honey, it was a decent afternoon hand warmer!

I recently restocked this and Bengal Spice! I’ve been drinking this in the evenings lately.
I have never tried Red Rose but I just bought some for daughter to try since her London Cuppa has disappeared. I am looking forward to tasting what seems to be the gateway tea for a lot of people.
I think of their original grocery store version as “plain old Lipton but one notch better in quality.” A decent cuppa when you just need something warm, takes additives nicely without interfering. I see they have a premium Breakfast blend that might be a little better.
Dustin, now that you mention it, I think I’ve missed or forgotten sampling Bengal Spice as well.
Bengal Spice is sweet as well, more than HVC. I suspect it might be due to the heavy cinnamon in the blend.
