Such a shame on this! I had high hopes for it…

if you check out the other reviews many people like it, i just am not a fan of frank’s black base – want to try it (i’m not going to finish it)?

Profile

Bio

I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle. I plan to use this blog to keep track of the teas I have tried.

I get my daily dose of caffeine from Starbucks (Grande soy no water chai latte).

75-100=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
