Impulse buy as I was making a Harney order and still had some of that gift certificate that needed using up.
I was about to say this is everything I dislike about black teas, but then realize it could indeed be worse, a lot worse. Its not as harsh as some I’ve tried.
I can’t say for sure what exactly it is I don’t like, what flavor elements that just don’t sit well with me. While there is some astringency, its not a harsh tea like others I have had. I just really don’t enjoy the flavor. Maybe this is a tea better suited for the tradition British style add in staples of milk/cream, sugar, and similar that I just really don’t like to use.
