I didn’t just drink this, but wanted to log it as I was thinking about my first hot tea experiences. My parents had a box of this in the cupboard (as well as another box of Celestial Seasonings that I can’t recall other than it was yellow) most of my growing up years. They weren’t big tea drinkers—other than iced sweet tea—so when I did want hot tea, I always returned to this box. If I recall, though, I didn’t particularly love it as much as I loved having a hot beverage. Good thing they picked up some good black loose leaf tea for me when visiting Oxford, opening up a door into the larger tea world. :)
This is You :-D

Bio
I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

100: a perfect cuppa. these are the teas I’ll keep in my cupboard and tend to be one per type of tea.
90-99: will definitely get more of this tea
80-89: likely to get more and perhaps it will become a favorite with time
70-79: very good, depending on my mood or the season
60-69: wouldn’t actively try to get this tea, but also wouldn’t avoid it in a tea shop or restaurant
50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me
40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard
30-39: okay, will try again, maybe
20-29: meh. I’d try this tea again if no other were available
