I know this tea have lots of disrespect here. I completely understand it, because it’s so common – it can’t be good. Anyway, I will try to be unbiased.

I rather did supershort steep and it looks like I let it brew for 10 minutes at least.
I can finish it. That’s the positive. But tea itself? It’s even tea? Tannic, “tea”, dirty.

“Black Tea with 5% pressed leaves to release their essence” – that’s something I really dislike. I think it is that tannic + dirty taste.
I have one more bag from postcrossing (this one is from as well). I know why I don’t enjoy this one / with lemon it is bit better one.

Flavors: Dirt, Tannic, Tea

Definitely not top shelf stuff, but I do like their loose leaf black tea better than the bagged stuff.

It takes tea and sugar reasonably well. I think it was created for that.

Gmathis:Some blends even in tea bags from Lipton are good; but this is just that bad as I described. I think that essence is what I dislike that much. And I understand that some loose-leaf can be quite good.

Bluegreen:Haven’t tried it with sugar. But I understand it could be more drinkable :D
