Wow. Total blast of bitter board! I dumped the dust like contents of the tea bag into my steeper so I wouldn’t have to taste the bag, but the bag taste may have dulled the bitter brew. I added cream and it makes this dark tea drinkable, but not quite enjoyable. There is absolutely nothing remarkable about this tea.
If I were a kid and this tea was a real life representation of Xmas morning, I’d be one heartbroken little kid opening gift after gift of nothing but worn mismatched socks wondering what the f*ck just happened to my holiday.
This cup is so representative of the difference in quality and care that is put into loose leaf vs bagged and offends me to my core.
I’m dumping the hell out of this cup.
This is starting out to be a feisty day!

I’ve had some really nasty Stash teas too… I think at this point I have maybe one or two of all the ones I’ve tried I find drinkable, with most I’ve tried being pretty on par with the experience you describe above.
