The smell of the dry leaves of this is super-unimpressive. I don’t know if it’s the sample, or how the tea always is, but it smells like it was left in a grandmother’s attic for years.
Sometimes grandparents’ attics are treasures. Like the time I found a 1950s Ouija board in my grandmother-in-law’s. Or the beaded white bowler cap my mother-in-law got married in. (Yes. Exquisite. Like this, but worse: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/87/d8/f5/87d8f5154c298a5ae0c4de5a2d2ffa81.jpg )
Once steeped, the tea smells like dust. With, if you breathe really deep and concentrate really hard, some maybe vanilla/cream in there? The attic-feeling remains.
And the taste is crazy. It’s like drinking a slightly moldy cardboard box.
But the aftertaste, once the cardboard is down your throat, is so good.
But, guys, one cannot survive on aftertaste alone. I must say adios to this tea.
It is not “bae.” As the kids say. Did you know that bae means “before anyone else”? That seems like a thing you all might not happen to know. I work with people much younger than I am. They inform me of slang.
Just typing the above paragraph makes me feel like… someone who would have an attic that would produce this tea.

You know, I have to say about the same about this guy. Its getting at least one more try, but then it might be written off for me as well.
I loathe the word bae. Though, knowing the meaning is that instead of what I thought it was (short for babe), it makes me hate it slightly less.
Mitch, I accidentally told a friend that it was short for “babe” before I knew The Truth. She was like “oh, I should’ve figured that on my own.” Now I feel to embarrassed to tell her the truth. It weighs heavy on our friendship, unbeknownst to her.
Haha, I understand because I’m pretty sure I’ve told my wife that is what it means. I still haven’t told her the updated meaning yet. Our relationship is a lie.
