It's tea at it's best - free from added flavors (apart from bergamot). I recommend it to anyone that doesn't usually drink tea. However, black tea contains more teine than green tea, and herbal teas usually doesn't contain any type of caffeine, so therefore I sometimes shy away from black tea. I recommend Liptons White Tea, which is a really good and neutral blend of green tea and another personal favorite of mine. As far as I know you can actually brew tea (I have an electric tea-brewer) but I think tea often is best brewed the regular way: Add the tea to a tea strainer, pour hot water over it (at least boiling) and let it soak.. For black tea I think it's 4 minutes that's the best amount of time, if left for too long the tea might become bitter. Green teas can soak a bit longer. I'm glad you've discovered the world of tea again :) I love these stores where you can select whatever different blends of teas you want and just mix yourself in a bag, and then let your friends try out your own mixes.
