Indigobloom drank camomile infusion by Lipton

Bleh!!
This was terrible. Even with honey added, it was more like juice than tea. Never again…
That is all.

Chamomile juice sounds terrifying.

Oh it certainly was!!! and I’m not sure how it happened that when I lifted the bag out to cease the steeping, it splashed some red onto the side of the pot! red tea dust in a camomile bag!!!!

I had lipton chamomile many years ago, vile stuff, horrid, and definitely not worthy!

ugh! blegh!! I shudder at the thought of ever having it again. In fact, I think Lipton Camomile is the reason I “thought” I hated it for years! before I turned tea-manic that is :)

I’m done with Lipton, except for the accasional cup at Grandma’s house-it’s all she stocks. In that case I do add sugar. It is so bitter {sour face}.

Indigobloom 2011-12-07 21:52:13 -0500

yes, sugar will save many a tea! though not lipton, for me… evil evil “tea” that it is!

ScottTeaMan 2011-12-07 21:57:24 -0500

Yeah ….honestly, I haven’t had that poison in years. I do occasionally have a cup of Red Rose, when remembering my Grandpap.

ScottTeaMan 2011-12-07 21:57:46 -0500

no sugar

Indigobloom 2011-12-07 22:51:05 -0500

ah yes red rose… it served me well for many years!

as a matter of fact, Paps used to go up to Toronto to visit his Cousin, and he brought back Canadian Red Rose teabags. He always said they were better than the ones sold in US (agree). That’s how I was introduced to RR tea.

Profile

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
