Variety pack tea pods compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine - 18 single-serve capsules hibiscus, english breakfast, peppermint, jasmine, paradise, green and black tea, earl grey bergamot

If there is a such thing as too much coffee I'm there. I thought it would be healthy if maybe in the afternoon I switched to tea but I didn't want to lose the convenience of my desk espresso machine. The tees are great. I like them all.

I have been buying this tea for a very long time. It works in the original Nespresso Machine and also in the Cuisinart Espresso machine. I use a little honey with my tea and it taste perfect. I tried many other types but always came back to this one. On a 1 to 10 scale I would rate it as a 9 and also it has never clogged my machine

They didn’t work in my machine. Waste of my money. 😔

The tea is very good. My issue is that I can only get my Ninja Barista to do a lungo size cup. It would be nice if I could get a 10 Oz cup of tea and not just 4 ounces from this capsule.

We're about to completely remodel our kitchen, and need to greatly pare down the kitchen stuff we use on a daily basis. As a result, my husband put away his semi-fancy, and large, espresso machine, and bought a compact Nespresso Original Line machine for his morning coffee. I don't like coffee, but I learned that there are tea pods available for the Nespresso machines, so I bought this variety pack, so I could find out if this is something I can live with for a couple of months for my morning tea. The variety pack gave me an opportunity to try some different black tea pods, so I could see if there were any that were useable. The answer is, I was not impressed. (In the interest of full disclosure, I admit that I am a tea snob. Sorry, not sorry.)TL;DR version:I mainly bought this to try the various black tea pods, because, as a coffee-hater, black teas are how I get my morning caffeine.First, I learned that you have to make sure the evil coffee pod the husband has used has been dumped before doing anything. Then you pull a long shot of clean water into your cup, to clear any remaining coffee residue from the water path, so you don't get coffee-flavored tea. (This also serves to warm your cup.) Then you dump the water from your cup, put your chosen tea pod in, and press the long shot button again. (Do not use the short shot button; you will not get enough tea.) I would estimate a long shot makes about 6 ounces of tea, which is perfectly fine if you are using a standard tea cup, rather than a giant coffee mug.I noticed some reviewers have commented that the pods make very weak tea. I did not find that to be the case, but I was only using each pod once, for a double shot. I was using 8 oz. cups, and a 6 oz. pour is close to right for that size cup.On to reviews of some of the varieties of pods provided in the multi-pack.English Breakfast: the taste was strong enough, and kind of bitter. I had to add quite a bit of sweetener, and some milk, to make this palatable. I know English Breakfast tea is supposed to be strong, but I have had better. The major brands have perfectly serviceable English Breakfast that is better than what I was able to get from these pods. There is a complexity in a good English Breakfast that just wasn't here. Moving on.Black tea: there were a couple of pods simply labeled "Black Tea". Honestly, these were better than the English Breakfast. This tea was, at least, less bitter. These just needed a bit of sweetener to make them drinkable. That being said, they were just OK. I could live with this if I absolutely had to, but we plan to have a microwave available, and I can heat water in the microwave, and then use a tea bag with a good quality tea in it, and get a better, tastier result, so, not really worth it.Paradise Black Tea: this is a flavored black tea, and the only way I can describe the flavor is "notes of insect repellent." Somewhere, I got the impression this was supposed to be a tropical-fruit-flavored tea. Not sure where I saw that, and maybe I dreamed it up. I admit I do generally need to use insect repellent in areas that I might otherwise describe as "paradise", so maybe that was what they meant when they named this flavor "Paradise?" I'm just not really sure what the thought process was with this flavor. I did make myself drink the whole cup, in case I got used to the flavor. I didn't.Earl Gray: I despise Earl Gray tea, and always have, so I admit I didn't try this flavor, and I don't plan to. Given that I was, at best, not impressed with the other flavors, I can't imagine that I would enjoy this one. Your mileage may vary here.Other flavors: I haven't tried any of the green or herbal teas, because, TBH, that's not why I bought this pack, and it's not what I drink most of the time. I may try them eventually, just to use them up, but I mainly drink tea for my morning caffeine, so I didn't feel it was urgent to try them.Heating water: it did occur to me that I might be able to use the Nespresso machine for heating water for my tea, because it does seem to heat water faster than the microwave. However, my husband measured the temperature of the plain water after pulling a blank double shot, and the water was only about 150 degrees F - not hot enough to steep tea, so I can't use it as a water boiler for steeping a tea bag, either.The conclusion is that, while we don't have kitchen, I will need to either heat my tea water in the microwave, or keep my Breville tea pot out for heating water, and then steep my tea in a cup, as usual. The Nespresso machine just generally doesn't appear to be a good option for providing morning tea for a coffee hater. Oh, well.

These are really great tea pods and they work perfectly in my DeLonghi machine! The tea is really good, I really enjoyed the variety, and they're biodegradable! That was a big bonus for me. I've just bought my second bag :)

These make a great cup of English Breakfast tea. I use an original line Nespresso machine and run the pods on the small settings 3 times. So 3 pods will make a full normal sized coffee cup. You can make a larger cup by running each pod 4 times and it’s just slightly weaker but still very good. They get an A+++

I was hopeful these would be good because I love tea just as much as coffee but as the title says, it just comes out weak and looks like slightly dirty water.
