We are all busy, that is why we choose to use a Keurig brewer in the first place. We don't have time to read long drawn out descriptions of K-cups using strange coffee snob terms that we don't understand. We are here to offer you quick reviews of Keurig K-cup coffees that will actually tell you what the coffee or tea tastes like so you can find you favorite or a new K-cup coffee to add to your collection. Have we made purchasing Keurig K-cup coffees easy or what?!
Ready? Let's get started.
Up this week... Twinings Winter Spice and Christmas Black Keurig Kcup Tea.
I chose to review both teas at once since they are along the same genre and are both only available for a limited time. I want to help you decide which one to choose (maybe both!) by comparing and contrasting these two very different teas. The differences are apparent right away in the mug:
Christmas tea is a black Ceylon tea resulting in a dark rich appearance that would be great with a dash of cream. Every time I have brewed this blend there has been a foamy layer on the top in my mug, I don't know if this is good or bad but, I personally enjoyed it.
In comparison, Winter Spice is a Camomile producing a translucent golden tea, this is the kind of tea that I would love to relax with on a cold, winter evening.
I was so intrigued with the difference in these teas I decided to take a look inside the Kcups:
As you would imagine the Christmas Black Keurig Kcup tea is a fine dark tea, with natural cinnamon and clove flavors that I could smell immediately when I removed the foil top. The Winter Spice has a grassier appearance with subtle apple flavoring highlighted by cinnamon, cloves and cardamom.
In summary, I would describe Christmas Keurig Kcup Tea as a mild black tea with hints of spice. I would drink this as a breakfast or mid morning tea with a dash of cream.
Winter Spice Keurig Kcup tea is a true Camomile minus any flowery taste. Rather it has a very mild apple pie aroma and taste. I have developed a habit of drinking this as a comfort tea to wind down after a stressful day.
