A tea review

I am consciously trying to decrease my caffeine intake, so I've been buying different brands and flavors.
I made a pot of Bigelow toasted coconut-almond bark. I will not drink this again, but I will use this as a base for coconut rice pudding.
The tea itself tastes too chemistry class in a cup for me.
Ah well.

3. I find "chemical taste" with lots flavored with coconut (not that which contains actual coconut)

Lots of flavored coffees (especially the cheaper ones) have that chemical underlying taste--some because the flavorings contain or were extracted with coconut oil.

At least you've found a use for your tea...

I'm not a big tea drinker, so no sophisticated habits, but sometimes this is exactly what I want.

For herbal, one winter I wanted chamomile so tried Celestial's Honey Vanilla Chamomile off the shelf and liked it a lot because it's mild and barely sweet.
