I know this tea have lots of disrespect here. I completely understand it, because it’s so common – it can’t be good. Anyway, I will try to be unbiased.

I rather did supershort steep and it looks like I let it brew for 10 minutes at least.
I can finish it. That’s the positive. But tea itself? It’s even tea? Tannic, “tea”, dirty.

“Black Tea with 5% pressed leaves to release their essence” – that’s something I really dislike. I think it is that tannic + dirty taste.
I have one more bag from postcrossing (this one is from as well). I know why I don’t enjoy this one / with lemon it is bit better one.

Flavors: Dirt, Tannic, Tea

Definitely not top shelf stuff, but I do like their loose leaf black tea better than the bagged stuff.

It takes tea and sugar reasonably well. I think it was created for that.

Gmathis:Some blends even in tea bags from Lipton are good; but this is just that bad as I described. I think that essence is what I dislike that much. And I understand that some loose-leaf can be quite good.

Bluegreen:Haven’t tried it with sugar. But I understand it could be more drinkable :D

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
