This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the taste as well as the caffeine. I like straight hot black tea, but started also making a cup of hi-can iced tea for my son who is a senior at the high school I teach at. We have an early start with a 40 min drive. It’s a perfect start to the day.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Very good straight black tea with an extra kick! My style is to add 1T heavy cream and some days a bit of honey. Probably a good tea choice for those wanting a break from coffee as it has more caffeine than an average cup of tea.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I received this as a sample months ago, and enjoyed it immensely. Had to get a bulk bag right away to keep my morning buzzing!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought this a few weeks ago and have been switching from having a second cup of coffee to this. Enjoying the switch
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars When I need that extra boost, I reach for Hi Caf Breakfast Black Tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite breakfast tea. I have enjoyed it for years and always buy it in bulk.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I have been buying the teas for a while, twice they said I get 10% off my next order, it never happens. Bait and switch?
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've been a coffee drinker since age 16, I'm 51 now. Switched to tea after the coffee no longer agreed with my stomach, only to find it didn't wake me up like coffee did... until I found THIS MAGICAL, DELICIOUS ELIXIR called HI CAF TEA. My stomach and alertness are extremely happy now. I add a little sweet cream and it's the perfect morning drink!!
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars This tea is a bit more bitter than I prefer. Nice kick of caffeine, but overall too much.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My favorite. Great high caffeine alternative to coffee. Caffeine level isn't jittery feeling (at least for me). Would recommend!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Definitely one of my favorite teas. I can add anything to it or drink it by itself. I'm absolutely going to get more once I finally run out
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a great alternative to coffee. Very similar caffeine levels, although it can be a tad bitter. Adding a small bit of cream and or sugar takes care of this. Will be re-ordering.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Its super similar to a good English Breakfast tea, nice black tea flavor. If you are looking for something super similar to coffee bite, this is it. I love this tea for the morning!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This Hi-Caf Breakfast Tea is my preferred flavor from this line. It's a smooth black tea,, and doesn't have any lingering aftertaste. I drink my teas plain, bit I'm sure it would be delicious with sugar. I have tried the Pom Berry in this line as well, and while it has a slightly higher caffeine content, it also tends to leave a bitter aftertaste. I've had to stop drinking coffee, and this breakfast is the perfect replacement.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my go to when I don't have coffee in the morning. I like to drink it with a little monk fruit and oatmilk chai creamer. I also love it with plain honey. Steeping note: ages ago, when I first tried this tea, I thought it had no flavor and disliked it. Then I realized I needed to steep it in boiling water to get the rich black tea flavor I was looking for (my kettle was set to 185 degrees...not enough! make sure you're at 205 minimum, if not the full 212 for boiling). One tea bag is equivalent to one cup of coffee for me.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My hubb drinks this daily and keeps a stash at work just in case. We keep it on auto ship to feed his obsession. It's delicious and does its high caf job to perfection.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this! It is a full bodied tea! Three Dimensional! Great black flavor profile with a hint of green tea…I see it as a tag team thing! I like 2 tea bags to 8 ounces of water. It gives all the solid caffeine goodness needed for the American workforce with none of the caffeine wavelengths of coffee or espresso! As long as you like the flavor the sunshine gets delivered! +last point, I prefer this flavor over the coconut hi-caf. I felt that once the coconut went cold the flavor profile became inconsistent or unblended and I wanted to add commas to toasted, coconut, black, green tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I like to have this tea in stock for when I need a little extra boost in the morning following a bad night's sleep since I don't drink coffee. It does not make me feel jittery at all. I prefer my unflavored black tea sweetened with a little stevia and some half and half.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Who needs coffee? Yes, this is exactly what you want for the morning. So stop looking at this review and order it already!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love the flavor. Steeped for 3 minutes.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Best high caf tea and flavor out there
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I'm a tea-loving hater-of-coffee. This gives ALL. THE. CAFFEINE. without any of the abhorrent taste of coffee. Subtle "plain" black tea flavor with that needed morning punch.

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars HICAF "Breakfast Black Tea" is a good quality black tea, but I missed the coffee flavor in the AM, so I added cinnamon, honey & milk to amp up the flavor & texture.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Very good tea. I'll be trying more of the hicaf teas.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Have loved this Hi-Caf variety for ages!!! Just one cuppa" of this hi-energy tea starts the morning right or serves as a great afternoon pick-me-up. The smooth flavor and added benefits of the green tea elements make it a perfect alternative to coffee for those who prefer a more healthful choice of hot beverage—-yet still desire a noticeable caffeine kick!!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I never knew that tea could ramp up the caffeine so well. No bitterness. No massive headache when it wears off. Oh please try this for yourself!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love this Breakfast Black HICAF tea ~ great way to start my day.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Nice coffee replacement and only need one tea bag to get a boost.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I recently ordered this as a substitute when my usual hi-caf blend (cinnamon toast) was out of stock. It has a strong, rich black tea flavor. I like it hot, and I love it iced. It was a great substitute, and I'm grateful it was available so I can keep it in my stash just in case I run out of the other again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My order arrived fast. I love The Republic of Tea brand teas. I have many flavors. I recommend this brand to all my friends. This is the only tea I serve to guests.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I initially got this because I was trying to drink less coffee, and I admit I was half expecting to throw it out after my first cup. But I was pleasantly surprised. Being an unflavored black tea, there's not much to rave about, but as far as black teas go it's.. I mean, it's tea. It has a solid flavor and you can can barely tell it's a high caff blend, which is what I was most afraid would be its downfall. It perks me up just as well as coffee ever did. Just be careful not to over brew it because there's a VERY faint and mildly unpleasant aftertaste that becomes stronger if you let it sit too long.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The Republic of Tea teas are really above average for tea. Taste great and amazing cuatomer service. I am completely satisfied
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Wakes me up every morning
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I am a strong brew coffee drinker who discovered I can no longer drink coffee. I missed the caffeine!!! This tea is robust without bitterness and gives me the boost I need to start my day. I have started saying "hmmm" with that first sip,again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars We started sampling the Hi Caf teas a few years ago. We love the flavored teas but have made the Breakfast Black part of our morning routine. It's so much faster than coffee in the morning and just as satisfying. We've opted to buy in bulk to save on packaging. The 250 count bag lasts about four months in our two-person household.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Bought this for my husband to try to replace soda with caffeine. Loving it!! Excited to try the other Hi Caf teas!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars This tea won't win any awards for flavor (it's not bad, it's just not anything special) but it's as advertised with respect to a proper caffeine jolt in the morning.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars Good black tea. Pairs well with not enough sleep last night.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars This is a great tea to help one wake up and get moving.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Like the packaging. Nice flavor.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars I like black , but I love your Hi Caf Ginger Mint so much more!! I will keep adding my Herbal Cinnamon Cardomom to your Hi Caf Breakfast Black it when I brew it throughout the winter months. So good !!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a great strong bold tea. I'm not a coffee drinker but this is my go-to morning blend or an afternoon pick me up. I drink it with honey for a slight sweetness!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My husband drinks this tea as a replacement for coffee. It gives him his morning jolt. He loves the flavor even without sweeteners.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I like nearly all the teas at Republic of Tea! Especially glad to see the new hi can teas. Ordered some right away. Do not like coffee in the morning so tea is great.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars I would not recommend this tea - I personally found it awful
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have successfully turned my work department into full-time tea drinkers and we had to order the basic black hi-caf tea after exhausting our pom-berry and coconut supply. Basic black hi-caff is good with almond milk or sugar/honey or a touch of vanilla.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Bar none my favorite tea to date. I recently ordered this tea and I was hooked after the first cup. This will be my go to daily tea without a doubt.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite teas, It gives me the extra jolt I like in the AM without having to drink coffee. I like mixing it with an Irish breakfast tea to give me a perfect AM cup.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The rich flavor tastes excellent with a little cream and sugar. The delicious flavor boosts my mood while waiting for the energy from the caffeine. I recently switched from coffee for stomach acid related issues, and find that I like it better than the gourmet coffee served at our office.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have had this tea just about every morning for the past year. I was looking for a way to get all the benefits of my morning coffee (warm morning drink, caffeine) with none of the drawbacks (jitters, french press cleanup, all my thermoses get that old-coffee smell in them that's impossible to get rid of) flavor-wise, this is a straighforward cup of black tea, low-tannin and mellow. it's delightful with milk, heavenly with honey, and is just about impossible to over-steep. and if a caffeine rush is anything like removing the seeds from a dandelion, this tea is like the breath of a wishing child, where coffee is a hurricane— or a baseball bat. if you're looking for a lowkey and lovely start to your day, pick up this tea.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I'm not a huge fan of the taste of this one on its own (I think it's the chicory) so I combine it with an English breakfast tea in a big mug and add about 12 oz of boiling water. Steep it for 4-5 minutes, add some sweetener and milk. This really does wake you up without the weird side effects you'd get from coffee. Don't get me wrong, I love coffee but I just can't drink it every day :) This tea makes me feel AWAKE but not jittery or anxious. Not sure if I'll repurchase when I run out, just because I don't like the taste that much, but I will definitely get some of the other flavors from this line.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have never been a coffee drinker, and I sought out this tea because a neurologist told me that caffeine could help chronic migraine. I find this to be a perfect black tea, although if I brew it over three minutes it can get bitter. Three minutes exactly seems to be the sweet spot for me.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I really like this tea.. it is full bodied without being bitter..a great tea to wake up witj
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was looking for a good black tea when I started making Kombucha a few years ago. My local super market had this darling tall round box of hi caf black tea with a bee buzzing around the label. Couldn't resist - yep I bought it for the cute box (I'm a bee lover too) and stayed for the great tea. I don't even drink hot or iced tea, just Kombucha.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great hot or iced. I drink it daily.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Without this tea, I don't know how I would function. All the flavored Hi-Caf varieties are good, but they can't take the place of just a strong rich black tea. Please don't discontinue this one. I've had quite a few of my favorites discontinued...
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My husband was born in Scotland an loves a strong cup of tea. I use one bag of hi-caf and one bag of British Breakfast and add a splash of milk. This is now his favorite combination!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is an enriching black tea with your morning dosage of caffeine! I purchased this tea in hopes it could replace my morning coffee. I am not a huge fan of coffee, but I sometimes I need to drink it in the morning to get me through my day. Since I have found this tea, it has officially been able to replace my morning coffee! I especially love this tea with a splash of milk, a spoonful of honey, and a dash of pumpkin spice… it makes such a yummy breakfast latte! This tea is awesome, deff recommend!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Coffee was upsetting my stomach, made me jittery, and was a daily habit for years... no more! This stuff is way better, doesn't upset my stomach, gives me that calm-but-alert tea wakefulness, and tastes amazing too. I make a cup or two of this each work morning and have given up the daily habit of coffee for several months... I'm on my 4th or 5th tin. This is exactly what I wanted - whoever created this is a genius!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The flavor is magnificent. You don't even need to use cream, milk, or sugar. Love the extra boost of energy I get after a couple of cups of this tea. Doesn't keep me awake at night if I should drink this tea after mid-afternoon. Will buy this tea over and over again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love coffee, but lately I've been craving tea in the mornings. This tea is perfect! Gets me and moving for the day and tastes fantastic! Also, it's delicious iced, so it's perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up. I highly recommend this tea.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I decided to try this tea when I wanted to give up soda and needed something caffeinated to replace it. I drank it every morning until it was gone and ordered more. It's simply delicious with a splash of milk and a little sweetener. I prefer the taste of the British breakfast tea over this one, but when I need an extra boost, this is the one I reach for.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this simple flavor and like to add an extra tea bag of another flavor I love to get the high caffeine content with it as well! Often, I'll mix this tea with any of the Be Well red teas, or a Jackfruit or Vanilla blend. It's delicious and healthy. Perfect for those who also don't like a flavor. Love it!
