And another one for the list of changes that didn’t need to happen. H&S sent me a sample tea bag of this. I’d previously had the newish version of Bangkok at a Starbucks, and while it IS better when made at the right temperature (i.e. not scalding), it’s still a disappointment when compared to the old version. I’d like to know who tasted the original and thought, I know what would make this better — weird fake vanilla! Really — and I say this as a fan of vanilla — even a good vanilla would make no sense with the other flavors in the tea. As it is the awkward cloying fake vanilla is overwhelming everything else.
This is You :-D

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.

Eww, wonder what they were thinking to do such a thing.
It’s one of those Confederacy of Dunces situations. A person makes something cool, and someone else pops up who is just itching to mess with it.
