I thought I had ruined my first cup of this because of something I had in the cup previously but I know I rinsed it fairly well. This just seems to be a weak sample maybe? I will re-evaluate if I get a change to try a fresh sample.

I’m sorry – I haven’t tried it yet, I opened the package to send you the sample of it so it was freshly opened when I prepared the bag.

No worries. So I think the problem is the packaging. Tea is hygroscopic so it absorbs the flavors and aromas of stuff around it. I’ve learned through many other trades that if you package stuff together openly in tea bags like that they tend to absorb the smells and flavors from each other. I also have a very sensitive palate ^^; But no worries! I’m going to enjoy going through everything!

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.

I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
