Wtf is this.
so… SOUR. Is that BERGAMOT in an ENGLISH BREAKFAST?? You know in the Wizard of Oz, when the Wicked Witch of the East’s feet curl up under the house? I feel like I get fake-ass bergamot in this and it tastes like that whole image. This tea made me want to curl up and die.

Short and to the point. :) I hope you didn’t get a lot of it.
A coworker shared it with me. He thinks it’s better than Lipton but still sucks.
I’m not sure I’d go so far as to give Lipton a 5 or less, though I haven’t had it for a while and may have forgotten how bad it is. Sounds like you need to share some better tea with your coworker! Maybe that Laos Orange Pekoe?
Lipton black isn’t that far down my WTFisTHIS list. Laos Orange Pekoe has left the cupboard so I’ll pick up a better box of black teabags for him.
I am excited that he requested a floral oolong for his first loose leaf tasting at my tea table.
That’s quite a change of pace from a malty black tea! What did he think of it? Maybe you can convert him into a more discerning tea drinker.
Hasn’t happened yet since we’re on different schedules but I’ll be sure to post when we have our tasting.
Ugh. Doesn’t sound good at all. Actually, it sounds truly bad. I try to imagine what kind of tea is it and how it was processed.
I’m pretty excited for that floral oolong tea tasting, though!
It seems that First Street is having indeed bad teas :D
