For many years, I have been addicted to Starbucks Black Iced Tea. I live in a little town in the midwest that doesn't even have a Starbucks, but I have a gold Starbucks card. I would check every route when travelling to plan stops for this iced tea. I have purchased the quart sized bags from Starbucks and Target when available and ordered the gallon bags when that was my only option to brew this tea daily. I started noticing a change when I was in South Carolina in March, 2012. I thought maybe southerners just have a different tea preference. I then noticed it in Nashville over the summer. Since I spend time regularly in Nashville, I knew a change was on the way. The tea has lost its crispness and citrus finish. It seems Starbucks has purchased Tazo from Steven Smith and decided to change it. I hate to think it was to make more money with a cheaper blend, but I haven't been able to find another reason. Given the fact that I was paying over $3.00 per Trenta, I can't imagine the mark up was unfair to them no matter what the cost of the original tea. By buying Tazo, Starbucks cut out the middle man to make way for more profits, then made major change. Couldn't it just have started its own tea brand? It has lost a loyal customer in me (and many transfers from my bank account to the Starbucks card). If you are loyal to taste rather than brand, start your search for a new tea. I have started my search with the former owner of Tazo who has opened a new business. Maybe the old formula will come back before we find something we like better. |

I prefer haribo, they seem to be a bit sweeter and that would work better with the liquor. I also like the firmer texture of haribo. There is absolutely nothin wrong with these bears, they just don't stand out flavor-wise. |

We split the bag up into smaller bags. We kept 1 bag out and the rest frozen, when needed we un-froze a bag and they returned to the original texture and taste. :D Would recommend to a friend for size, price and tastiness!!! Fast shipping too. ^_^ |

Flavors are just not vibrant or tasty. They may be sort of fun to chew on, but not worth it flavor-wise. I haven't had gummy bears in probably 20 years, so my expectations may be unrealistic. |

I know Amazon has several different people selling the same product, but this is LITERALLY the same exact product. I click on the product link in my order history, and it takes me directly to this exact product with the lower price.
Contacted Amazon, and guess what, they don't even price match their own products. It is not like I told them I found it cheaper at Walmart, no, it is the same product on their site and they won't match the lower price and refund me the $7.00 difference. Unbelievable rip-off. |

My wife and I have been buying Tazo's Black Iced Tea for several years. It was the best iced tea we ever found, and we enjoyed it immensely. Recently we ordered two more boxes from Starbuck's through Amazon. When we brewed the first bag, something wasn't right. The taste was bland, not at all like every other time we had it. We tried a second bag, and it was bland as well. VERY disappointing. My wife Googled and found on another web site that Tazo changed the formulation of its Black Iced Tea. It is a flop in our opinion. |

I use Luminarc Quadro 2-Liter Glass Pitcher with Lid. My favorites are Newman's Own Organic Tea, 4.95-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6) & Davidson's Tea Bulk, Moroccan Green with Mint, 16-Ounce Bag which I brew in a Swissgold TF 200 Tea Ball. So yes, I am a Major Tea Lover. I ordered the Passion Tea, based on the reviews. It seemed expensive, but after using it for the past ten days, I am very impressed. It is refreshing & easy to brew. Be prepared for a packaging surprise; it arrived in a plain brown commercial box, the same one they send to the stores. Easy to prepare after the first batch.
I like to have tea ready to go, so I fill my6-pack of Aquasana 18 Oz. Glass Bottlesand season my tea withNellie & Joe's Famous Key LEMON Juice, The Original- 16 oz and sip through a Zak Reusable Polycarbonate Stripe Straws - Set of 12 which I keep clean with a Brushtech Sports Bottle Straw Washing Brush B23C. And YES, I am a PRIME shopper and love Amazon. At 70, I am a mainly home bound caretaker for my mom, who is 96, so shopping at Amazon is efficient and economical. |

I wanted to mimmic a certain starbucks iced tea. The Passion Fruit Tea with Lemonade. These tea bags make 1 gallon of tea. Directions are on the box and are easy enough. I used a powder lemonade to make a pitcher of lemonade and then mix the two as I want a drink. Equal amounts of each. When I want it to be a little sweeter, I simply add some agave nectar and it is absolutely perfect for me. I'll be buying this box of tea regularly.
Update: Now my favorite way to drink this is as 1 gallon passion fruit tea with 1/4 cup agave, which I also bought on Amazon at a great price! |
