When I first tried this tea I thought I might not be steeping it hot enough or long enough, so today I tried hotter and longer than I had before. It produced a marginally better cup of tea, but that isn’t saying much.
Too mild, barely vanilla, and even the black tea taste is disappointing. It’s just unremarkable in every way. At least my box of this one is nearly gone.
Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.
I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
