I was never much of a hot beverage drinker until recently.  In fact, these are the first tea bag products I have ever tried! But I must say that the Fruit Sampler is both a great variety and great value.  Each of the flavors are distinct and aromatic.  I typically combine 1 packet of Splenda, 8 ounces of boiling water and 1 tea bag to a ceramic mug and wait about 5-10 minutes for the flavors to seep while the beverage cools.  When I reach the bottom of the mug, I often pour in an additional 8 ounces of water and a bit of sweetener and the second cup is equally flavorful! My pleasant experience with these teas caused me to expand out a bit and try some other flavors and varieties as well (see my review of&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Celestial-Seasonings-Madagascar-Vanilla-Red-Tea/dp/B000E63LQU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla Red Tea</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Celestial-Seasonings-Cinnamon-Apple-Spice-Tea/dp/B000E65OII/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice Tea</a>).  I am especially partial to the blueberry and cherry flavors.  These teas lend themselves well to additional little seasoning.  For instance, I sometimes add a bit of lemon or orange peel or perhaps a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to give them a little extra pizzazz.  Overall: I'm very pleased and continue to keep my pantry stocked with these refreshing and flavorful beverages.
