The Final Sipdown: Day 10
Decupboarding Total: 18
Since I slacked yesterday (though not intentionally), I plan on decupboarding three teas today to keep my goal of two per day. So let’s all just pretend that it is yesterday for the next few minutes.
I was waiting to see how this tea went with additives before I rated it, hoping some sugar and creamer would help perk it up. Well, this morning I had it with additives and yeah, not a fan. It just tastes so flat and cardboard-y. Not even good cardboard but boring, slightly dirty, uninteresting cardboard. There’s a bit of a nutty-bitter taste at the end but it’s not even a strong enough nutty flavor to be interesting. It’s just flat and boring. I’m sure there is some caffeine content to it and if I think about it, I might be able to agree with the “clean” bit of the tasting notes so the tea isn’t a total loss. But frankly, I can pick up more interesting and tastier blends at the grocery store.

Jaime: upton teas aren’t all bad… I like that I can get inexpensive sampler sizes of their teas… and they do happen to have one of my favorite blends – their chocolate earl grey is fabulous!
Mental note: Avoid Upton Teas.

Inexpensive samplers are good…and now I’m intrigued by this chocolate earl grey. sigh Another tea I’ll have to order…
