My biggest problem with this tea is that it is heavy, so it gets expensive to buy a small amount. Then, because it is so heavy I can only afford to buy a small amount. So when I go to make this one it takes up a large portion of what I have, so it makes for a expensive cup of tea. The 25g that I bought only ended up making about three cups of tea. Normally though, I wouldn’t mind…. if there was any real taste to this. I steeped it for six minutes and it still tastes very mild and mostly like water that was mildly flavored. Even after I put more of this tea in my cup in an attempt to get a stronger flavor I barely noticed a change. All in all I definitely regret purchasing this one. Who knows though, maybe its just me.

Oh no. Everyone had the same problem with this blend. It is expensive and tasteless no matter what you do. At least it is an easy sipdown so it is simple enough to drink up and move on.

I’m glad I’m not the only one! :) I think in going to try mixing it with something next time, Forever Nuts maybe…

Mixing it would definitely help make a tasty cup. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

About Me
Hi! I’m a 24 year old University student that loves tea -obviously! I also love to read, I’m an English major so I guess that is a given. I may also be a bit of a shopaholic, but hey there are worse addictions right?

Tea
Growing up I hated tea, but when I turned 16 I went on a trip to Japan and fell in love with Green Tea -basically any type of green tea that I could get my hands on. For the following 7 years I stuck exclusively to straight green tea.

Then when I turned 23 a friend of mine got a job at David’s Tea and started pestering me to branch out and try some of their teas. And I am so glad I did! for the next year I tried (and bought) basically every tea David’s had to offer.

Then a couple weeks ago I stumbled across Steepster when I was search for recommendations on other tea brands to try. In the short time I’ve been on steepster I’ve been introduced to some amazing teas from brands all over the world, and some equally amazing people!

Tea Ratings

1 to 40 – I won’t even bother trying to drink this, I’ll just dump it out.

41 to 65 – I don’t like this. I’ll finish the cup because I don’t want to waste it, but I’ll probably be cringing while doing so. And I definitely won’t be repurchasing.

66 to 80 – I like this, I’ll recommend it to people, and at some point I’ll probably repurchase it.

81 to 100 – I am in love with this. Seriously, I’ll be repurchasing this before I’m even halfway through my current stash of it. In fact I love it so much I’ll probably force feed it to you until you love it as much as I do.
