Default K-Cups has anyone tried the tea offerings?

I have a Keurig Single cup brewing system, and I have heard that there
are some teas offerings available for it. Has anyone tried it, and
any comments pro or con, about any teabrands, before i try any? I
know with coffee, I have found some I really like, and others were not
to my taste at all.

If you have used a system with coffee before, I think it is a very bad
idea to put tea in it. Coffee residue is remarkably strong and goes very
poorly with tea... I think it is effective impossible to clean stuff up
well enough to avoid transferring some flavour over. Even mugs sometimes
will carry over some, and mugs should be very easily cleaned.

We had a keurig brewer at work and I tried some teas but they
were nothing special. I tried green tea, I think lemon tea and
basic black tea. They were like tea from teabags, possibly
even worse.

Hi Dan,

I also have a Keurig brewing system and tried sever of the tea K-Cups.
They were fine, but I find them a bit expensive for what they are. As
a fan of loose leaf tea, I put a bag or leaves in a cup and hit the
size that I want brewed. The temperature is perfect, I get to choose
the tea I want, and am not using a silly little cup that is not really
necessary for tea. Someone had commented that you still have the taste
of coffee when making tea: I have also found this the case when making
tea, but if you brew one cycle of plain water to flush out the
machine, it isn't a problem. Also by doing this, you're doing a
crucial step that the English do when making a propper cuppa: fill cup
with heater water before adding tea. Bottom line: Celestial
Seasonings aren't bad, but why limit yourself when you can use the hot
water your machine creates to make a cup of whatever you choose? We've
stopped using our kettle since getting our Keurig. Hope this helps and
good luck with creating the perfect cup of tea.

Thanks to this and the other posters. I do follow the advice to do a
hot water only brew between uses, even when drinking coffee on my
Keurig, and switching blends.

Thanks to all
