I used to like the old Tazo Awake. Mostly black tea and bold tasting with a high caffeine kick. Is this similar?

Yes, it is very strong. Not to my taste. I have to add hot water after I brew the cup on 7.25 oz.

I am not a fan of Tazo so cannot really answer your request. I love Twinings English Breakfast Teas and have yet to find one I like better. I do think the Black Tea has a stronger, bolder flavor than the original. Hope this helps.

Try 'Garden of Life' Raw Meal vanilla chai flavor. It costs less than this product, tastes better and in my opinion is much better for you. Remember with the cacoa and maca powder you are getting added caffeine which in my experience is a toxin that builds up in the tissues and causes problems over time. They do make you feel great but there's a price to pay down the road. No such issues with the garden of life product I mentioned and it's cheaper to boot.

Twigs and leaves. Their kukicha tea is fresh, makes a beautiful, delicious drink with a punch. Try it... Thanks for the reminder, I need to reorder some for myself. Aloha.

My neighbor works at Starbucks and he says lighter is stronger. Their blond coffee is very yummy and strong. I expected death wish to be amazing strong. It tasted OK and woke me up but it is not worth the money and wait in my book.

I'm shopping for a single-serve cofee maker, and am looking at the Tassimo just because Starbucks came out with T-Discs. I tried the regular ground Cafe Verona from Starbucks, and it is my favorite. It's dark roast but not as strong as Italian-roast espresso--which is normally my gold standard, but I liked the Verona better for straight coffee.

I'm pretty sure since its caffeine based it wouldn't be much different than taking a really beefy green tea for that, especially considering how the energy is a chill get up and go I don't think it would really be suitably the same (though I've never tried coca mate') I'm pretty sure for hiking at high altitudes you'd want something that would effect your lung capacity so I'd say go with mormon tea (Ephedra Viridis) you can find pounds of it for cheap on ebay.

Yes, it has the normal caffeine that black teas have. This is WONDERFUL organic tea. I love it for iced tea especially. I use half Newman's black tea and half Newman's green tea.

I think the taste is the same. I am hook on this tea! We bought the tea bags type but, the strength and taste was not as good.

I don't think it is as rich as expresso, but it has a fuller taste than from a drip machine. I really like my Presto.

Yes!!! It obviously tastes different in coffee than in tea - but in its own delicious way.

They're both fantastic! I've tried all the flavors from both companies over the years and was never disappointed; however, the past few years I buy Barry's IB over Bewley's IB or Dublin Morning because all of Barry's Teas are "Fair Trade". Bewley's only tea that is listed as "Fair Trade" is their Special Blend, which is unfortunate because I really miss their IB and Dublin Morning teas! So, I usually switch off between Barry's IB & Bewley's Special Blend Fair Trade Tea.

This is a superior tea. It leave U.S. English Breakfast Tea in the dust. In my opinion, it is slightly better than Barry's Tea from Ireland. This is a superior blend of tea and is powder or dust. With a spoon of sugar (sweetener) and a dash of milk (never cream or creamer) it is a great beverage. I alternate between Yorkshire Gold and coffee for my morning wake-me-up.

Hi Mark,I'm sensitive to caffeine, so I rate it at High-flying espresso level. I find it doesn't make me jittery, BUT it will keep you rolling for several hours. Not a tea for bedtime.

Good question. Glad you asked. I have something like 17 Irish Breakfast Teas, all in bags, because... well, I'm too old and too lazy to fiddle with washing those little metal ball things. Twining's was, typically, my first IBT. Punjana my second, Barry's my third. ALL were excellent, but Bewley's Dublin Morning AND Bewley's IBT are superior, IMO. You didn't ask, but Taylor's of Harrogate beats them all, and Whittard's is top-notch also. Props to Trader Joe's for always being there when I want it, which isn't all that often. Republic of Tea's Pot of Gold Lucky Irish Tea, despite the verbiage, is great as well. Why not try them all? Bet you will buy them all again when you're out. I can't get enough of IBTs.

The tea half does have some caffeine. On the other hand, this stuff is delicious!

I buy both of them and alternate my use mainly due to the price fluctuation. I can say that they are both excellent choices. Especially if you drink espresso because that's when you can really tell how good the coffee is. In its bare true form. On the Lavazza website the Gran Crema is described as this: "Creamy and bold, its full body makes Gran Crema Espresso ideal for a cappuccino or latte. This blend is made of South American Arabicas and Southeast Asian Robusta beans, distinguished for their rich, intense flavor and velvety crema." Someone made this comment comparing the two: "Just tried the Gran Crema beans in an espresso show. And it's crema is as good as the Super Crema bean. It's taste is milder than the super, but still a full-bodied one. It coats the sides of my tongue and finished clean; it doesn't hang on the tongue. The Super Crema coats my tongue down the middle from the back to the tip and stays on my tongue for a second or two. But that's a good thing." You really can't go wrong with either one. I have to say, having a proper machine makes a huge difference in how you can extract the full flavor and Crema from your coffee. It's all about the pressure, isn't it? My German Miele coffee machine is amazing but I have had the same blend of Lavazza in Italy made by professional machines at coffee bars, and the taste is unparalleled! Having said that, you can brew any of these two blends in a good old Bialetti Moka Express, which is what the majority of citizens of Italy use, and it will be excellent still. I hope this helps.
