I really wanted to love this tea. The pear aroma is incredibly cloying and intoxicating, but unfortunately, if you let the tea steep for longer than a minute, it becomes incredibly bitter.
For someone like me, who lets the tea steep infinitely long, this is a huge drawback. Also, I’m quite suspicious of the white tea hype in general, and this has proved to be once again disappointing.
I hear you on the disappointment, but don’t let celestial seasonings ruin your view of anything. I speak from experience. :( They have such delicious sounding products, but every time I try something I’m really sad.
