Steepster Traveling Teabox Tea
I can see having this tea again if it were free and I could drown it in sugar and milk. This tea might have been better if I went to less steep time, but as I only have the one and am at work there is not much room to experiment and play.
Post-Steep Additives:
+1 packet white sugar=slightly sweeter, still a very bitter finish
+1(2) packet white sugar=palatable, wish i had a bit of cream to toss in
