Really didn’t like this tea – I bought a few teabagged black teas because I’ve run very low on loose-leaf black teas and I won’t get my latest orders for a couple of weeks, but this one was a mistake.

It tastes and smells to me very strongly of bonfire smoke, and very faintly of fish. The underlying tea-taste is too watery and disappointing.

The argument had raged for months and years; he would say something hurtful and cruel, and then I would shoot back a likewise response. The good cups and a beautiful clay teapot were in shards all over the kitchen floor; tomato ketchup dripped from the balustrades, and the cat, named in honour of the great Richard ‘Kinky’ Friedman, was making a mew of distaste. And so, after wrestling with the mathematics of it for many, many sleepless nights, I realised that no-one would, in fact, be able to qualify or quantify the difference between an 87-rated tea and an 86, so I stopped rating tea.
