Chami

Drank this while I read Lore Olympus Volume 2 because pomegranate seemed fitting for a Hades/Persephone retelling. I was nervous because the last Chami tea I had wasn’t great but this was pleasant enough. Generically fruity but didn’t taste like grass so there’s that.

I picked this as my “spicy” tea for Mastress Alita’s scavenger hunt. Alas, it was not spicy. It wasn’t even really apple. It was a sort of grocery store/dollar store cheap tea in cute packaging. The flavour was a sort of apple but so subtle. Mostly it just didn’t taste like much.

This left so little of an impression that it hardly seems fair to call it a sipdown, but it is!

Everyone around me seems to have the plague at the moment. Argh. Aaaargh!
I do not want to be sick, so am drinking tons of tea, to keep any inkling of a sore throat at bay.
So far it seems to be working, but lets not tempt fate, shall we? Another one down the hatch.

My neighbors gave me a little box of this for the holidays, which was super nice of them. I’d never heard of this tea company, and I’m always happy to steep things in water.
I see now why I’ve not heard of this company- this tea is not very good. Its not particularly lemony, or honey ish. Its just sort of a mildly musky cup of hot water.
Oh well. I’ll bring it to work to drink absentmindedly when I want a cup of tea during the day.

I honestly don’t remember what it tasted like to me, as I tried this some time last year. I just remember that I thought it was awful and that I swore I’d never drink another cup of it. It’s one of the only times I ever dumped a cup down the sink.

I was given this at an office gift exchange. The quality of the tea is lacking— severely.

Used 2 bags, since they are only 1.5 gm each. 3 min in 180F water gave me a mug of light golden tea. The aroma and flavor are bland, plain and common in this inexpensive tea from the supermarket shelf. Not bitter, but not good either.
