Advent Day 4

I’m missing something here. All the reviews of this tea talk about it being the best EG ever and I’m not getting that in this cup. Maybe it was a bad batch of tea? Maybe it was old stock? Either way, what I’m tasting is and EG light with the strength of a third steeping of any other EG. The base is nice and smooth… a little malty, but the bergamot is almost non existent. Adding creamer drowns out the berg and makes it a little more malty, but it’s still not worth drinking this cup. Down the drain with you!

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
