Ysaurella drank St Petersburg by Kusmi Tea

Well, how to say that in English…the word BOF in French is exactly the expression of my feeling about this tea.
I cannot say I like it but cannot say the inverse.
I recognize some qualities but I am very disapointed by the difference between the smell of dry leaf and what I get in my cup.
Maybe too much caramel vs red fruits for me.

I think you got the idea across that you don’t care for the tea and that there was a disconnect between the aroma and flavor that was disappointing.

“Meh,” peut-être?

First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.

I am mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m not drinking many straight teas because my palate isn’t developed enough to appreciate yet.

My favourite brands are : Mariage Frères, Dammann Frères, Butiki Teas,Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :

100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard

94 to 90 : Excellent tea, often in my cupboard

89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it

79 to 70: not bad even nice, why not having it sometimes, but well, not so urgent !

69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities

49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it

Under 30 : is this tea ?!?!?
