My stars. This tea is really great. The only reason I am giving it four and not five full "stars," is that I am going to need to brew this double-strength in order to get the best flavor out of it. I'm an adult student on a strict budget, but I love this tea, so I'm going to have to keep it even though it's more "expensive" than it seems.
I can't say that this tea can quite replace coffee for the flavor, but I am personally thankful for that. I only love coffee in the morning for its effect and warmth, not really for the flavor. This tea eradicates my need to tolerate coffee. I *love* this tea. I also love the Java Mate, and I am going to try blending them soon.
I think the perfect cup (well, tumbler really, since I have the Stainless Teavana Tumbler) is about 4 tsp of tea to 14 oz of liquid. I add a heaping tsp of the German Rock Sugar to it, and a splash of soymilk. It needs to steep for quite a long time, but I don't find that it gets bitter, even though it has some black tea in it. Bonus :)
Definitely a keeper. The flavor is incredible, even though it blends a ton of different flavors that seem like they wouldn't go together--and then they do, and sip by sip, I'm happily surprised. I suffer from severe seasonal allergies (all year 'round, ugh!), and this makes my extra-sneezy mornings so much more bearable!
If Teavana keeps making stuff like this, I am going to have to hide my debit card--my house is already overflowing with tea, but I'm super eager to try out more Teavana teas!

I really like the caffeine aspects of this tea. It works for me since I am the only coffee drinker in the house, I hate making a whole pot. It just goes to waste. So I purchased this tea, and I think it is OK...will it ever replace my coffee? Never. But I like the spice in it, I just do NOT like the chocolate flavor in it. I will drink the whole tin, but I will have to suffer through the chocolate. Remember the old scratch n sniff stickers? The Chocolate bar? That's all I taste. If that was removed, I would give the highest rating.

this tea is fantastic. that said, it is not nearly as fantastic as its description and reviews make it seem. in truth, i found it extremely weak and not full-bodied at all, and there is too much vanilla flavor. plus, the zipper on the pouch is impossible to open with human fingers, but this is a problem with teavana in general.

I read the reviews and was really looking forward to trying this tea to replace coffee in the morning. I do not like the taste of coffee but need a pick me up in the morning. This tea is not it. The taste is just mediocre which really surprised me because I have loved all the other teavana teas that I have tried. I made it stronger than it calls for but I did not feel any pick up at all and the flavor was lacking. This is a huge disappointment!

I just recently ordered this tea to try it. I would say overall I liked it but I don't think I would purchase again, not because it is bad...just not to my liking. It was a little weak and I even added a bit extra. I'm going to try it again with honey instead of the rock sugar to see how it fares.

This is delicious! Chocolatey, nutty, and rich. Great tea flavour and I found it nice and strong. Lots of caffeine, so best used in the daytime. It will keep you up, which is a good thing as long as it's during the day. Love this tea and would recommend it.

I've gradually gone from green tea to black tea to keep me awake on overnight work shifts to try and get away from nasty unhealthy energy drinks. I could never stand the taste of coffee. Then I discovered a new Teavana store near me and they recommended a mate tea for caffeine. It has taken me a while to get used to the taste because it can remind me of coffee sometimes, so I brewed it 1/2 & 1/2 with black tea then gradually I fell in love with the taste and now crave it every day! I also used to add sugar to my tea which I no longer do with my morning mate because it is sweet enough. Thank you Teavana, an answer to a doctor's prayers!

Love the flavor notes, it really blends well. Keeps me awake nicely on a long night shift without the jittery feeling I get from coffee. Works well for multiple brews, so while I have to use A LOT of tea to get enough flavor out of it, I can usually get 3-4 cups out of one infuser-full. Best with a little honey :-)

Predominant flavors are Nutty, Chocolate and sweet. Mate flavor gets lost amongst other ingredients. I would prefer Mate to be stronger and not sweet. Overall - this tea tastes weak.
