drank Orange Bliss by Twinings
2546 tasting notes

Not sure where I acquired this bag, probably a TTB. This tastes like pepper? I shared it with someone who said it tastes like clove. We didn’t notice any orange, just a meh black base plus flavor notes that shouldn’t be there. It was drinkable, but really not great.

Makes you wonder if the people who made the blend either didn’t taste it or didn’t realize how fast the flavors would fade

I wonder if it is extremely old?

AJRimmer

Yeah, I guess you never know how old things are with TTBs unfortunately!

I suppose it was probably pretty old, since the most recent review here was nine years ago and someone more recently commented that it had been discontinued. Asmanra and others did comment on the very strong, orange flavor, but that was 12 years ago, even if it was a teabag that had been hiding out in ashmanra’s laundry room! So maybe the (artificial?) orange flavor has dissapated in yours AJRimmer. I dunno. I dunno what TTB is, either. Twinings Tea Bag? No matter, I can spike any old keemun with some OJ and pretend. ;-)

Traveling Tea Box! Ha I definitely acquired it in the last six months, but I guess it must have been old before it got to me!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
