TAZO Organic Awake English Breakfast Black Tea (4-Pack, 144 Bags)

This is a genuinely bold breakfast tea that multiple reviewers describe as 'strong' and 'full-bodied.' It's robust enough to wake you up in the morning and holds up beautifully to milk and sugar if that's your thing. That said, it's smooth and not harsh—people specifically mention there's no bitterness even with that bold flavor. If you prefer lighter teas, you might want to steep it for less time.

Absolutely. Reviewers specifically mention the 'high caffeine content' and that it provides a solid energy boost. It's a proper English Breakfast-style black tea, so you're getting that morning wake-up call you'd expect. Several people use it as their go-to morning tea for exactly this reason.

It's quite versatile—works great both hot and iced. Multiple reviewers mention brewing it for iced tea, and it steeps well for cold preparation. The bold flavor holds up when chilled, so you won't end up with weak, watery iced tea. That full-bodied character translates nicely whether you're drinking it hot on a cold morning or iced on a summer afternoon.

The organic certification means it's grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and Fair Trade ensures the farmers are paid fairly. Reviewers who care about this specifically mention appreciating these certifications. For taste, it means you're getting pure tea flavor—that traditional breakfast tea taste with subtle sweetness—without any chemical aftertaste. It's basically a cleaner, more ethically sourced option that doesn't compromise on that bold flavor.

It's genuinely good value if you drink black tea regularly. You're getting four boxes of 36 bags each, and reviewers mention the quantity as a plus. At this volume, you're probably saving compared to buying individual boxes, and you won't run out anytime soon. Just be aware that one person mentioned a potential count discrepancy in their order, so you might want to double-check when it arrives.

It can get too strong—a couple of reviewers mention this. The tea is already bold, so over-steeping will intensify that and potentially bring out some acidity. Stick to the recommended steeping time (usually 3-5 minutes for black tea), and you'll get that smooth, rich flavor without the harshness. The good news is it's forgiving enough that slight variations won't ruin it, and some people even reuse bags for a second, gentler cup.
