So i’ve discovered…that i can only drink this if i add sugar, which i generally never do. Without the added sweetness to bring the flavours out, this is a like a very boring, bland, icky cup of average not so exciting black tea. Add a wee bit of sweetner and all the flavours that were hiding, come out to play! much better, but i still dislike having to add sugar. Rating bumped up a wee bit.

I was seriously considering buying this one just a few hours before you posted, and am very glad I didn’t now!
Thank you! That’s very generous of you, but I think I’ll hold off until I get some teas here I can send to people in return.
If you change your mind, happy to send you some if you drop me a quick pm. If it makes you feel better i can always send you some with a promise that you can send me something in return by the end of the year lol (i’m not fussed about it, i have lots of teas and just like trying new things)
I actually really liked this tea! And I served it to hubby and a friend and they liked it, too. I wonder if it is different tastes or different batch that is making the difference?
Hallieod: if I can get a sample of this to my future skn-in-law by tomorrow he could bring it to N. Ireland and mail it to you, but I don’t know that I will see him before he goes back! I will definitely give him some for you if I see him. He leaves the US Saturday.
Thanks to Ashmanra – I didn’t update here because Sil sent me a PM, but kind of glad I didn’t as it’s fun to see these worldwide tea-related connections! (My younger daughter was born in NC.)
Sil: Great! I won’t get to see him after all. He has been really sick during this visit so they are taking today to do a little touring.
Halliday: that is awesome! My daughter met her beloved when he was an exchange student at her college. She later found out that his uncle who lives in Dublin has come to a town just down the road from us for many years. Where in NC were you?

Some are really enjoying it. It’s pretty meh for mE, middle of the road.
Not worth the risk of shipping to Ireland, anyway! But I appreciate your fairness. :)
I could send you some if you like

Hallieod: well, now we know what autocorrect changes your username to!
Gotta love autocorrect! Will move over to PM so as not to flood Sil with comments.
