OH NO!

Have you ever bought/gotten a tea (or food item w/ tea in it or tea accessory) and thought “OH MY GOSH! I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY THIS!!!” Only to be HORRIBLY disappointed? What’s your biggest tea disappointment?

I went through an herbal tea phase and rounded up a bunch of different types of Celestial Seasonings bagged teas. Being an avid supporter of loose leaf, I already understood that I would be drinking hot water infused with tea fannings and dust. I held out hope that the indicated tasty flavors magnified by the array of bright aesthetically pleasing colors on the boxes would ease my anxiety in making the switch. Alas, every type was devoid of flavor except for Bengal Tiger – which I could taste because of the cinnamon. Lesson learned! Now I do not purchase anything in a bag I can’t easily identify as a dried leaf, flower, spice, petal, dried fruit etc. Fannings and dust in a bag do not a decent tea make. ;)

My biggest Tea disappointment (at the time) was when I bought Brown Sugar from White2Tea. I expect it to taste exactly like Brown Sugar…. Safe to say, I appreciate it and love it now, but it took some getting used to lol
