Another sample from my big sis, Harplady. This smelled good, like berries and spice and vanilla and maybe something floral and sweet. I was optimistic as I poured hot water into the cup. Unfortunately, following a brief and intense topnote, the scent of the brew subsided to simply tea with a bit of berry overtone. The end product was a slightly astringent green tea with a bit of fruitiness. Not much though, it tasted mostly of tea and watery tea at that. Nothing to write home about.
Oh well, there were two or three bags left, enough to make a nice jar of summery cold brew. I put all of them in a quart jar and let it steep overnight. The brew was darker and stronger and not particularly objectionable, but was still very ho hum forgettable. Generally pretty much what I’ve come to expect from this pricy, overhyped brand. Yet another variety I don’t plan to stock up on. Thanks big sis, for saving me a small fortune.

i took all the bagged teas that you and whatshesaid sent me and brought them to work so that I can use work tea time for bagged teas. I have a finum at work as well, but i figure the bagged teas give me an excuse to drink them at work…since at home i’ll almost always go for anything BUT a bagged tea lol
My bagged teas, what few I have, end up in my purse, just in case I’m out & about wanting tea, with nothing worthy available. OR I serve them to guests, LOL!
hahaha
