I usually dont compare down to this degree for something like this, but since I had it both available, I did a direct side-by-side taste test (subjective) at home with another brand offered by Amazon, Traditional Medicinals Organic Roasted Dandelion Root Herbal Tea, 16-Count Wrapped Tea Bags (Pack of 6). As for the Alvita brand, my senses tell me...

Smell: Good! Same nutty aroma that resembles roasted tahini, or peanut brittle.
Color: Medium brown, with some reddish tone. Not as dark as Traditional Medicinals.
Taste: Good, but not the best I've tasted. Initial flavor like some kind of nutty coffee drink is all there and good, just not as rich. There is also a very slight tang aftertaste.

Differences aside, this is a great healthy tea that supposedly promotes healthy liver function. I started drinking this last time I got a caution that my liver enzymes were boderline high. I have yet to confirm that it helped, but the psychological benefits are helping a bit ;). It tastes good, and somewhat resembles hot coffee in the morning, only more healthier.

On a comparitive note, the tea bags themselves are cheap. They do not have draw strings like most tea bags have, they are not individually sealed or wrapped, and they come grouped together in a non-resealing package. If this doesn't effect you that much, then I would recommend this buy because you get more tea bags for your money. Otherwise, I think you will get a better experience with Traditional Medicinals. As a final tip, with either brand, the more you steep the more flavor comes out.

I actually like this and after tadying it, can see how it can be a replacement for coffee. It's got a slight coffee flavor, but without being bitter or acidic. It's a mild flavor, but add a little maple syrup and it's delicuous!

The 3 pk of Dandelion. Root Tea was a bargain,& I was able to share w/ a friend & still have plenty with the 30 bag count ! Will purchase again for sure !

This is the EXACT same kind you would buy at GNC or any other store except cheaper. Came real quick and was alot cheaper.

This is a great product. It works really well and do not taste bad. A few other of my family members loves this product also.
