I envisioned <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bam_Bam_Bigelow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bam Bam Bigelow<\/a> was behind this tea company.  I imagined him at board meetings in his flaming leotard with a striped blue tie and sipping tea from a dainty ceramic cup with a silver teapot.  And God help you if you give Bam Bam any lip or a TPS report missing the new cover.  Alas, he&#8217;s not the founder of the company.  <\/p>\n<p>Eggnog and tea.  Oh, dear God.  Are we out of possible fruit tea combinations already?  Last time I checked, there was lemon, raspberry, and orange zinger.  No one has done durian or starfruit or kiwi tea, yet.  There&#8217;s probably a gold mine in those flavors.  Or how about a refreshing garlic tea?  But seriously, what were the people behind this tea thinking, bringing together an egg-based beverage and tea?  <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an idea, Bigelow Tea. <\/p>\n<p>Roasty Chestnut Tea.  It&#8217;s as wintery as eggnog and you can have a picture of two chestnuts roasting over the fire on the box.  &#8220;It&#8217;ll warm your chestnuts up in no time at all!&#8221; could be its slogan.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:right;padding-left:10px;border:none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/eggnoggn2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All kidding and insanity aside, this tea is actually pretty good.  The tea bag pre-teabagging, smells very much like cinnamon oatmeal, but nothing like eggnog.  It&#8217;s actually quite homely and uplifting.  The tea itself, after the steeping process, has a color somewhere between black and green tea which isn&#8217;t a surprise since it is made with those two teas.  It retains the oatmeal smell, which is quite pleasant since most teas tend to smell musky like, say, Bam Bam Bigelow&#8217;s armpit.  <\/p>\n<p>The taste of this tea, well, doesn&#8217;t exactly live up to its name.  There&#8217;s nothing rich or custardy about this tea, but it does sort of taste creamy-ish if you consider instant oatmeal creamy.  It tastes like tea with a mild cinnamon spice and notes of instant oatmeal.  I liked it, but it may not be for everyone.  It&#8217;s also heavier to most other teas, which definitely makes it a winter tea, but that&#8217;s like saying a dog-shaped balloon is heavier than a helium balloon.  They&#8217;re both still light.<\/p>\n<p>The tea is a little more expensive compared to other teas available on the market, but still a decent product.  All in all, it&#8217;s a good tea that suffers from a terrible name.  Now if only there was a Bam Bam Bigelow Tea that came in a black box covered in flames.<\/p>\n<p><small>Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 tea bag &#8211; 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 0 milligrams of sodium, 0 grams of carbs, 0 gram of fiber, 0 grams of sugar,  0 gram of protein, and testicle-free.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Bigelow Eggnoggin&#8217; Tea<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.49<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  8 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Holiday Market<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Instant Cinnamon Oatmeal smell and flavor.
