My sample was starless too! :(
But even with its lack of stars, the black tea itself is yummy. It tastes very vanilla-creamy, almost like a buttermint! There is a woodsy, smoky aftertaste that is not unpleasant and seems to add some depth.
Very, very smooth. With little astringency and only a hint of bitterness. An exceptional tea to enjoy with something sweet at breakfast—preferably french toast with lots of cinnamon (freshly grated), butter and maple syrup!
But -1 because of absent stars!

You’re very generous:) I’d give it at least a -50 for not having any stars.
starry night tea. Booooo! Dark rich black tea.
Yeah, they should name in “Non-Starry Night Tea”! Cofftea, you’re right, maybe I should lower the score huh? :) But I think a 79 is more heartbreaking—it’s like being just one point away from “average-ness”. “So close and yet so far!”
50 is average for me so maybe that’s why.
I love those buttermints that melt in your mouth! Is that the “buttermint” that you were describing?
Yep! Like those pastel colored sugary ones.
Okay that means I have to add this tea to my shopping list. Thanks for the info!
Sad. Just sad. I agree about the taste, though.
