I’ve had bad luck with fruit blends from big companies. Always seem to have a mediocre black base with a not very realistic fruity flavor. They seem to fair better when making it just a tisane.
I completely agree. Serves me right for trusting Starbuck’s with tea. They should stick to their overpriced and over-sweet chai lattes and their ridiculous coffee products. Lol
Haha very well said!
Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, floral greens, matcha, yaupon, mate, rooibos, and honeybush.
Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.
Picky about, but not opposed to: chai, spice/ spicy, fruit flavors, and herbal tisanes.
Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus, plain peppermint.
90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.
70-89: Good.
50-69: Meh.
49 and below: Blerg.
