Jillian Lena sent me this tea.

Here is my review.

Seriously. Look at the picture.

ETA: If you want an actual review, please read the plethora of other reviews on this tea. They paint its portrait quite nicely.

Uh….I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me who sent you that tea. I don’t even drink Tazo except the odd time I’m at Starbucks. 0_o

My bad! It got mixed up in my box o’ tea swap samples. I want to say I’m sure it was Lena, but now my world’s mixed up.

LOL, I was just about ready to wail “NOOOOO, IT WASN’T MEEEEE!!!” XD

BTW I agree 100% – that tea is nasty!

Reading the ingredients, I’m wonder who thought mixing citrus with licorice would be a good idea.

Reading through all the reviews of this cracks me up. I know it is wrong but I’m so tempted to find a bag of this now just to taste the horror. Hahaha!

Love it. Once again, an awesome Takgoti review. Sometimes a picture really does say it all.

Love the photo & had to read all the reviews on it — it was so intriguing. Even if I do what the Olympics are doing (throwing out the lowest score and the highest score) it still made for fun reading. I am convinced – not going to try this one.

I’m happy y’all enjoyed my masterful photoshopping. [That’s about the extent of my drawing skillz.]

This tea is horrible. It explodes with bad. It is like orange rind and hibiscus decided to load up on performance-enhancing drugs, and then one night they were both drinking a fair amount of wine and they let the night take them to a place where they never should have gone. And the result of all of those awful, terrible decisions was this tea.

That is only slightly hyperbolic.

HAHAHAHAH. This is awesome and amazing and I’ve had this tea. Wow. I just remembered that. And it was BAD.

LENA 15 years ago

lol…it WAS me. I’m just now seeing this post. The HAHAHA’s on the teabag packaging should have given it away.

Hee, I should have figured. I’ve gotten sent a number of bagged teas in bright orange packaging [one of which I believe was from Jillian] so that was my bad. I thought about heeding the HAHAHAHA! but then I figured what the hell, and at least it’d probably make for a funny log. The bad ones are more fun to write photograph.

Jillian 15 years ago

Yeah, I think I sent you a bag of my Stash Peach Oolong which also is in a bright orange package. Veeeeery sneaky Lena, trying to foist the blame off on me. ;P
