In response to "I wonder if consuming Tazo really does improve a person's outlook on life and affect his or her well being?"  I think it does!  Whenever I drink this tea I feel happy and warm all over (especially now, since we're under 18+ inches of snow).  The tea is yummy.  It took a little getting used to since I'm a devout coffee drinker, but now my morning isn't complete without a cup of Tazo's Green Tea.
