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. dan http://www.mycoffeeandteastore.com |

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. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I tried green tea, I think lemon tea and basic black tea. They were like tea from teabags, possibly even worse. |

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.
