There was nothing special about this “special blend.” It was a fine middle-of-the-day, medium bodied black tea that went well with sugar, but I didn’t really get any flavor other than basic tea from it. It did brew to a really pretty deep red brown color.

ETA the scoring rubric sometimes really annoys me here. I am the first one to give it a rating, and I give it a 70, so the rubric gives it an overall of 75? I’m not truly griping as such, I just don’t understand at all.

I believe the ratings are normalized a bit so that one rating doesn’t skew it quite so far. I’m not sure what the algorithm is, though.

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
