I don’t drink a lot of bagged tea these days, but it does come in handy when I’m feeling as exhausted as I am at the moment. Last Friday the entirety of my new job got dumped in my lap, and I ended up working Saturday and most of last week to try and at least get things back on track. That means I’ll have to spend this week catching up on everything I should have been doing last week, with the expectation that things be in some sort of reasonable shape before the christmas break. Which I’ll be glad to have. I’ve hardly had time to drink tea, let alone keep up with my steepster notes, but still. I can only do my best.
Anyway, the tea. This really does taste remarkably like crumble, for some crushed up fruit in a bag. There’s a buttery, bakey kind of taste to it that’s quite exceptional, and tempered beautifully by the tart blackcurrant and tangy rhubarb flavours. For a supermarket bagged fruit tea, it’s not at all bad. Good strong flavour, not over hibiscussed, and blessedly caffiene and fuss free. Pretty okay, in my book.
