Since I had a whole box of 100 just laying around in the cabinet I though to myself “Eh, Why the hell not.” Also, I have my teapot soaking so I couldn’t make a good cup of something. I boiled up 8oz of water and put the teabag into the teacup. Poured the water over and let it steep for 2 minutes. Then took the teabag out and disposed of it. Infused up somewhat dark, quite darker than Twinnings English Breakfast

The results are nothing special. Seems to me like your run-of-the-mill ordinary supermarket bag tea. No real flavor to it other than some astringency and bitterness. Just taste like hot water to me really. Although it is better than anything Lipton produces. (Well maybe not anything but you get my point)

This probaly has nothing to do with the tea but while drinking it made my throat feel ticklish, not in the good way. And I was coughing quite a bit.

Picked this up at a supermarket and though I would give it a try. (It helps to mention that I just recently delved into the world of teas) I picked up the loose leaf tin an was impressed with the packaging and the presentation. Opened up the tin and It was packed to the brim and not half way down the package like most things are. I boiled two cups of water and put two big teaspoons of the tea in my teapot. Let it steep for two minutes. I was impressed with the dark-amber color much unlike the near black I would get from the teabags I have been using in the past. I added a splash of milk to the cup, sat down and drank my tea. The flavor was good, Much better than anything I have produced from a teabag. NIce and deep with some “smokey” undertones, Brisk and sharp with a light “bite” to it.

I am pleased with this tea and think it was a great was to transition from teabags to loose leaf. I would recommend it to any beginner to loose leaf tea or even tea in general.

I don’t make my reviews too long or go into a lot of detail. I like to make things short, sweet and to the point.

If you wanna swap teas, recommend me something or just talk send me a message. I’m more than willing to partake.
