Awake™ is a perfectly balanced, bold and flavorful breakfast tea that satisfies and invigorates. It is a blend of fine varietal teas of northeast India and bright, full-flavored teas from Sri Lanka and Kenya.
Ingredients: A blend of select black teas.
Black teas are made from the fully fermented leaf of the Camellia sinensis and contain caffeine. Tazo® Premium black teas are grown at high elevations for the best flavor and then plucked by hand. The leaves are then crushed and tightly rolled into wiry threads to release an enzyme that, when exposed to oxygen, begins the fermentation process. They are then dried by oven firing, creating the malty, rich flavors and amber color that have been characteristic of black tea for thousands of years.
Tazo® was created for one purpose: to reinvent tea and the tea experience. By using high quality ingredients and a tremendous amount of experience and creativity, Tazo® has produced unique products that create an emotional connection with the consumer at many levels. Tazo® continues to expose consumers to the ancient traditions of tea, but presents this in a way that is bold, interesting and intriguing.
Unlike other tea companies, Tazo® purchases teas in their original container as packed at the garden to ensure the tea inside the chest or bag stays garden fresh and is not exposed to the heat and moisture in a blending facility at one of the tea shipping points.
The blending process is a very subtle art form that relies on subjective measurement of taste, color and aroma. Tazo® constantly tastes and determines which teas will go in which blend in what percentage, so flavor profiles remain consistent and of the highest quality possible.
The name Tazo® has roots in many civilizations. Tazo actually means "river of life" in the Romany Gypsy language and was used as a toast to life by ancient Greeks. Tazo also means "fresh" in several Hindi dialects. In ancient Babylonia, Tazo was a rejuvenating elixir thought to have magical properties.
Tazo® is kosher certified by KSA.
Food Pairings:
A perfect wake-up kind of tea, Awake™ pairs well with all main meals.
Time of Day:
Perfect all day long.

I love Awake tea. It is the best thing to have in the morning in place of coffee. Wish I could find it at local stores.
This Awake tea from TAZO is amazing! It's great for those mornings when I don't want to wake up, but I have to. I prepared it in boiling water for a few minutes and on the way to the service I drank up the tea. WOAH! It was like I was renewed. Refreshed and ready for the day!
I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who wants a powerful, natural, energy-filled morning or day! and there's no side effects!
