I have found a new contender for “worst berry tea”. It is sickening how artificial the berry flavour it. It is overpoweringly purfumed and almost seems soapy. If you have ever wondered it what hair shampoo flavoured tea tastes like, it is this.
I should have known better because it is Lipton.
Flavors: Artificial, Berry, Floral, Fruity, Perfume, Raspberry
I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).
I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)
My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing

I completely believe this. I’m currently using a box of Lipton Ceylon I was gifted as… well… hair shampoo! (Yes, I’m making a “black tea hair rinse” out of it because who could ever drink that stuff?!)
