I have had some horrible teas in my life.

(I can’t remember the names)
1. Twinings Raspberry, Strawberry & Loganberry Tea
2. Twinings Cranberry and Pomegranate Tea
3. Twinings Peppermint & Licorice Tea
4. Twinings Apple & Ginger Tea
5. Higher Living Evening Tea
6. Higher Living Chili and Cocoa (highly sickening)

(don’t take this as an anti-Twinings rant, because I love Twinings, some of their teas are just sickening)

Yikes. I’ve never seen the Twinings berry teas. Maybe they took them off the market? Or they’re super rare? Haha.

I’ve had their pomegranate raspberry. It does taste really strange.

My lowest ratings are Agagio’s Chamomile which always tastes musty to me, and Celestial Seasoning’s Sweet Coconut Tai Chai, which I described as “bland, bitter, and burnt” tasting.

MAN. I think I’ve tried to block most from my memory, but Twinings has definitely always been hit-or-miss for me (like, cherry and cinnamon is brilliant when I’ve got flu, but the vanilla chai tastes weirdly like banana and it’s CREEPY, and strawberry and mango is just generic tart-cloying.) My lowest rated is apparently a white tea with raspberry from Marks and Spencer, which I’d mercifully forgotten until now. It tasted like butt.

I had a really unpleasant tea sample experience at T2 the other day – I can’t remember what it was called but it was a smoky lapsang-y type tea, but I think this is because there was a crapload of soymilk and honey in it, and I wouldn’t have added either of those to tea. My husband tried it and immediately had to palette-cleanse with something else because it grossed the hell out of him, which is a shame because T2 usually do good stuff.

Bagged tea from a motel room. Tasted like muddy water. Ugh but at least it was complimentary.
