Bacon Tea?!?
Yes, bacon flavored tea…this one is scaring me a little and I am not one who is easily scared…
So I was this close to picking this up until I read this:
Ingredients: Tea, immitation bacon bits, natural flavors.
Hmmmm.
First, immitation (sic) bacon bits? No thank you.
Second, natural flavors? I’m guessing that is only maple essence. The only natural flavoring from bacon comes from bacon fat and I really don’t think they steeped the leaves in pig grease…
So yeah for the idea, boo for execution.
Not buying this, but feel free if you feel so inclined. If you do, tell me about it…

Thanks for your post. I DID spell imitation incorrectly. I hate it when I do stuff like that. Just thought I would let you know that the natural flavors include natural maple AND bacon flavors. And I felt we should use imitation bacon bits because I thought they would keep better. I wasn’t sure about how well even pre-cooked real bacon bits would hold up in the cupboard–guess I could have consulted with some of you bacon experts first, but I didn’t want to chance making anyone sick.
Anyway, the bacon tea is getting some pretty good reviews. A pinch of salt really brings out the bacon flavor.
Have a TEAriffic day!

Your tea is intriguing Frank! I wish you luck with it.
I think you may have talked me into at least trying it, so look for my order this week.
