I have tried to like this tea as I got a whole bag of it when I ordered my Tuffy tea steeper. Alas, while I do taste the black tea and maybe a bit of creamy puerh, I get a weird chocolate aftertaste. I don’t mind the cocoa addition to this breakfast blend, just don’t appreciate the artificial taste it leaves in my mouth. In my mind I compare it to the Vanilla SF herb tea that is so very simple vanilla flavor that it doesn’t try to be something else. Bolder breakfast is a chemical aftertaste in a puerh disguise.
Flavors: Artificial, Creamy, Dark Chocolate, Metallic

The name of this tea sounded familiar. I keep my own personal short hand note book in the kitchen and if I try a tea that is particularly, howlingly bad, I note it. Bolder Breakfast was on the list for that horrible, oily metallic after taste of robot tears.
What are some other teas so bad you wouldn’t ask your worst enemy to drink?
There was an orange spice tea popular in the 80s and 90s, often found at health food restaurants. It had way too much cinnamon oil/flavoring in it. The name is blocked in my memory. It burned nasal hairs. It wasn’t Constant Comment. Any tea with moringa or valerian. There are others but if I mention the brand, I will be here for days, trading insults with the people who are fans. I would not ask my worst enemy to drink any of the aforementioned. I would, however, be sure these teas were in their cupboard or pot.
Ah! I finally remembered the brand of that gawd awful orange-spice tea-Good Earth. What really confounds me is that this stuff is still on the market. Ugh.
I am hatching a plan to put some lipton in my enemy’s cupboard, and a video camera to watch her drink it. On second thought, I’d have to buy it first and I don’t want to encourage the company to make any more…
LOL! Sometimes thinking about these evil doings is infinitely more satisfying than the deeds themselves. : )
