Constant Comment from Bigelow
83

This is one of the first bagged teas that I really liked, back when I had just started drinking tea. I hadn’t had any in a while, so I decided to have some to wake me up this morning. I steeped it at the 2 minutes that everyone says makes it taste wonderful. Turns out, I don’t like it at two minutes. To me, it just tastes like hot water that somebody thought about adding spice to. Normally, I leave it in for closer to 4 or 5 minutes, and the spice and orange flavor really comes out. It’s a great way for me to wake up in the morning. While this cup wasn’t wonderful, I’m normally very fond of Constant Comment

I’ve never actually had Constant Comment, but always had Stash’s Orange Spice. I now buy MarketSpice from.. well… MarketSpice. It’s a very wonderful cinnamon orange tea, though I’ve read some reviews that it’s TOO-cinnamony. I like it though.

I’ve tried a good number of Stash teas and haven’t been very impressed with any of them. I’ve just given up on them. I may have to look into MarketSpice! I like my teas nice and spicy! And you should definitely give Constant Comment a try at least. The good thing about it for me is that my cafeteria has some teas, including Constant Comment, in a hidden corner, and nobody else drinks them, so they’re all mine!

I like Good Earth Original for the reason that it’s really spicy and in the Winter sometimes I want that! Also the decaf version tastes just like the non-decaf and you don’t need sugar in either because the spice is sweet.

I’d be willing to send you a sample! Although, there’s a tea that was recommended to me called Söderblandning from Sweden that I’m awaiting a shipment for. Might make sense to wait until that gets here, since if it blows MarketSpice away, I wouldn’t want to recommend the wrong one!

Sure! I’ll let you screen them for me :)

Bio

I’m a premed student at a university near Austin. I’ve recently started getting very much into tea, but I’m still learning. I’m in Texas for college, but I plan on leaving after I’m done with undergrad. Austin is a lovely place, but I need somewhere colder, maybe Colorado. I’ve lived in Hawaii, Mississippi, Colorado, Maryland, and California, and each place has it’s own charm, but Colorado was definitely my favorite place. I also knit quite a bit and sell things on my etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/CeleryMonster?ref=si_shop
My poor dorm is filled with yarn and tea, I’m sure it drives my roommate crazy.
