Skipping the next in the box "Green Tea" we move next to "Constant Comment®" as it sounds much more interesting than plain green tea.

Initial Taste = In the "Lemon Lift®" one expects the tea to taste a certain way. With "Constant Comment®" I also expected a certain flavor, but the tea surprised me. It tasted orange, not in the "Lemon Lift®" candy sort of way, but in a spiced Christmas-y sort of way.

After-Taste = While the after taste is good it loses it's strength and adds no twist to the flavor.

Aroma = This tea has a very good aroma of orange and spice, almost exactly like a "Yankee Candle®".

Originality = This tea is very bold in what it tries to accomplish and succeeds exceedingly well. This is one of the few teas that tries to be different and new and actually pulls it off.

Taste Throughout = According to Buddha everything must be in balance; And this tea is no exception. Your mouth will get used to the orange flavor as you drink down the cup and will actually start to ignore it, like when you have had too much icecream.

While spices are supposed to support your main flavor (orange), this tea ends up with a spice flavor supported by the orange. And the result, while not bad, will get boring.

Other Notes = None to speak of.

Bottom Line = This is spoken of as an orange flavored black tea with spice, but in actuality is a spice flavored black tea with orange. It is a very good tea and even better for the holiday season, but I recommend you drink only small cups of this at a time, or very slowly; As the flavor tends to wear out its welcome.
