So here’s the deal. This was one of the first teas I had, in the form of a Bigelow tea bag and it was nasty crap.
I then had a giant tea trip in which I tried both bagged Twinings and Tazo of this tea. Bitter and astringent. I somehow kept on though, because I never tasted what a halfway decent Earl Grey was supposed to taste like.
That fateful day is nigh.
I sipped this tea and didn’t even realise the fact that it wasn’t disgustingly bitter until I had another cup. I honestly still can’t comprehend how this isn’t tasting bitter to me. It’s probably not even that awesome of an Earl Grey, but in comparison it was awesome to me.
I’m going to sink into my copy of Schubert and a blanket and be content now. Good night you guys.
