The Reincarnation of Tea. Black Tea. Tazo Awake is a blend of fine varietal teas from two very special places. Assam, near the Burma border in northeast India, produces teas known for their dense, malty flavor. These are combined with bright, full-flavored Dimbula teas from Ceylon to create a perfectly balanced breakfast tea that satisfies and invigorates. You'll find it to be far bolder and more flavorful than your typical breakfast tea. At various times throughout history, Tazo has emerged among the more advanced cultures of the day as an invigorating pick-me-up. Legend has it that Tazo Awake was used by the boatmen on the mythical river Styx to help them stay alert on their frequent voyages to the underworld.
