Another tea bag from Izzy and yep, she wrote me “long steeps are needed”; so I did 5, maybe 6 minutes long. And it wasn’t steeping much at all (based on colour change).
This tea isn’t bleh, but I agree with the other rater here. They almost all taste the same. It wasn’t very sweet, just a little of vanilla and certainly no pastry! Pretty much meh. I wonder if I shall do even longer steeps.
It was just average. It doesn’t deliver promised taste. It was like slightly vanilla flavoured water. Not much even from the black tea base. Sad.

I was really disappointed with this one too :( Also, don’t be afraid to steep for a veeeeeeeeeery looooooooong time for all of the ETS teas I sent you. Even 10+ minutes. I’m not sure what’s wrong with them (usually ETS are my favourites) but even the “delicate” green tea blends are weak when made with boiling water rather than 80c water. They don’t even get bitter.
The only one I have really enjoyed is Coffee Cream, although it’s not overly creamy.
Also, I checked the Best Before Date on the box: 16/10/2022. So, definitely not stale. Maybe I just got a bad batch.
