Absolutely love this tea! Coffee makes my stomach hurt, but I need that boost of caffeine to get me going. This tea is my now go to in the morning. No more stomach issues.
I love this one as well as Reindeer Fuel for a kick start in the morning, but this one seems like it might be available all the time! Brisk taste, a fine morning blend.
Honestly, quite impressive. I found myself liking this more than I like a lot of flavored black teas. It had a flavor that I couldn't quite pinpoint the nostalgia it had for me, but I'll be coming back for more.
Cinnamon is a bit strong but tea is still tasty and will plan on reordering this one. Also helped me get rid of a headache that would not go away with anything else.
I didn't notice a particularly strong caffeine kick, but I also have a daily coffee habit that dulls my perception. I did enjoy the flavor on this one though.
At first I was not sure about the flavor, but by the time I finished my first cup I began to really enjoy it. Uplifting without feeling jittery
When I cut back on my heavy duty coffee habit, I really thought I would miss my morning coffee. This tea in not a substitute, it is now a preference!
I usually bring it to just about a boil and then I pair it with waffles and blueberries. Very good morning quality drink.
When they say High Caffeine, THEY MEAN IT. If you want that extra boost, this is the one to go with.
Not bad. I feel this is very much a tea for winter.
Deep, rich, a little kick of cinnamon and plenty of caffeine! With cream and sugar makes a nice morning cup.
Delicious! It absolutely helped me to wake up, and tastes a Lot better than I thought it would. I'd drink it just for the taste alone without needing the caffeine to start the day.
Nice mild body, really like the mix of mate and black tea on this one. Ver smooth, no noticeable caffeine jitters, which I appreciate!
Just ordered this in teabags this time. This is my new favorite way to start my day
I really love this tea. Balanced and delicious. Did not make me jittery.
A great morning tea! I add a little cream and take it with me to go in the mornings. Gives lots of energy.
Dark and spicy tea with a kick of caffeine that is a great start to the day
A great alternative to a morning coffee. It's got a similar warm flavor profile.
What it says on the label. A good dose of caffeine in a very tasty brew.
Second go to for my morning cuppa. Just a little bit more kick in this tea to get your day started. Also delicious as a latte!
One of my favorites. Love the hint of cinnamon! Pairs well with peanut butter honey drizzle toast! Yummy delicious. I have several jump start tins over her. Please add the 16 oz bag option and I will schedule a recurring delivery
Cinnamon with a hint of cocoa and natural sweetness, this blend is a hit! I steeped double strength then poured over ice and there is plenty of natural sweetness to make this easy sipping without any additives and a great way to get my work shift started. The slight smokiness from that mate goes great with the black tea.
This tea is wonderful. It tastes delicious and really does give me a “bump” in the morning, but my stomach never feels queasy like it does when I drink coffee.
I love this blend for those mornings that need a little more umph, really nice balanced flavor.
Great way to start off the day or to get that extra kick of caffeine during the day.
Wonderful strong and refreshing tea. Perfect before a morning workout @adagioteas
It does have a resemblance to the flavor of coffee, and needs a little sugar in my opinion. Enjoy the nice energy boost.
This is a delicious, earthy tea that hints cocoa!!
I would recommend this tea as a great morning tea.
Love this tea for a quick wake me up. It tastes really good and only need one glass to be awake.
A nice sweet aroma of cinnamon and cocoa floats out of the pouch. The tea brews into a deep rich brown color. The blend tastes predominantly of the slightly roasted flavor of toasted mate with notes of cinnamon. There's a slight nuttiness, but whether that's from the kola nut or the toasted mate is hard to determine. Any cocoa notes are faint. Despite the addition of black tea, the brew retains the smoothness characteristic of mate even after a long brew in boiling water. All together the blend delivers what it promises - a tasty caffeinated kick - but I've had more flavorful mate brews from Adagio.
This tea had a rich nutty flavor with cinnamon and nutmeg undertones. Surprisingly tasty for a mate as this tea type usually isn't my fave.
An interesting tea. I like the cinnamon with the hint of chocolate and it was slightly nutty. Cream and sweetener go nicely with it. It didn't make me feel jittery.
Enjoyed this tea. It reminded me, both aroma and taste, of fruitcake. This works as I enjoy fruitcake (fresh, not regifted for several years, fruitcake 😁).
A nice drinkable cup, but doesn't make me want more.
Quite the pick me up. Really nice well rounded flavor. A combination of nutty, chocolatey and slightly fruity with overtones if cinnamon. Great for a winter day!
This is a nice tea! I love cinnamon! The caffeine boost was pretty nice too!
A stimulating cup of tea. Steeped for 8 mins @180°. The aroma of the infused tea reminded me of toasted raisin and cinnamon bread. Flavors of roasted nuts, cinnamon and earthy flavors. The tea had a smooth mouth feel and a lingering malty taste. Nice tea blend.
tasted good and cinnamony! I loved that it has a high amount of caffeine in it
It was ok (212 @ 10 min). I like the cinnamon taste, but was not one of my favorite.
I am a bit of a caffeine addict having worked at a coffee shop previously and adopting a high tolerance - even for someone that favors both coffee and tea, this was quite the pick me up! I brew my teas a little cooler than normal to avoid any bitter notes, and I found a sweet spot right around 190 degrees.
Jump Start has a welcoming cinnamon note right off the bat when you open the package, followed by a sweetish smelling root smell (almost like real rootbeer in a way). After steeping, the color of the tea held that pretty toasty color.
The flavor allowed the chocolate to shine through, a bit sweet, and definitely toasty. I really enjoyed my start to the communiTEA!
This is a tasty tea. Not the taste I expected from the list of ingredients, but still good. It's fairly mild overall, definitely get a hint of cocoa and spice.
I liked this tea. It reminds me of coco pebbles.
the smell of the tea was delicious! smelled chocolately, nutty, cinnamon-y. really good. the tea itself was pretty good! im not usually a fan of mate, but i guess the other flavors mellowed it out a bit :)
i cant say anything about the caffeine, since it has the opposite effect on me and just makes me sleepy if anything haha but it sure is a yummy cup!
I don't usually like mates but this one was decent. Reminded me a bit of Asian herbal/grass jelly, strangely.
I really appreciate the complex warm flavors of this tea! Unfortunately I rarely need/want this much caffeine, so I'm not sure I'd purchase it. Absolutely loved the flavor though!
CommuniTEA Review: The aroma of chocolate and cinnamon when I opened the packet was lovely. They blend really well with the mate and black teas for a delicious cup. I had a whole safflower in my packet today. I'll take that to be a sign of good luck for the new year.
Surprising mate blend! I really enjoyed this as my morning tea
This one just didn’t do it for me. I steeped at 212 for about 5 minutes, but didn’t get much flavor at all. It was an okay cup of tea, but nothing stood out to make it notable.
Update to review: having learned how to properly brew mate, (wake it up gently, then a nice long 5 minute steep) definitely helped to make this a more enjoyable cup. I would probably rate it more at 3.5. Cream and sugar helped transform into a pleasant cup of tea. While still not a favorite, it’s one I would enjoy drinking it again.
To be honest, toasted mate is my least favorite ingredient in tea. I do however appreciate a good caffeine jolt in the morning. Although this smelled a little weird, I could get by the taste to get the caffeine. Not something I would buy but I did drink 2 cups of this . Happy New Year!
