I love black tea in the mornings but most are pretty high in caffeine. Awake is the perfect tea for me because it is lower in caffeine than most black teas. It has a robust, strong flavor that goes nicely with a splash of cream or half and half. However, it is mild enough to drink black as well. Tazo is definitely not one of the best brands of tea, but overall, it is a great everyday tea at an affordable price.
