The dry scent of this tea is definitely Hubba Bubba. I expected it to have more of that alcoholic tang and I couldn’t detect anything of the sort.
The scent of the steeped tea is decidedly fruity, with a sour edge. The taste is a little tangy and peachey, but not in the least bit like alcohol. This isn’t a BAD tea, but it isn’t great, and won’t be a repurchase for me.
I have been drinking tea for almost as long as I could hold a cup with a handle. I blame this on my British expat parents, who also gave me an entire catalogue of culturally irrelevant reference points in which to confuse the world at large.
I drink almost strictly loose leaf, but the odd tea bag will cross my path due to well-intentioned in-laws and the like. I admit to a sad penchant for flavoured blacks, while aspiring to like more traditional unflavoured te …. oooh, vanilla.
