HUGE disappointment (I’m mad)
I know flavored teas are not loved here but I saw someone talk about this tea and since I live in France I went and bought it.
It has an INCREDIBLE smell but NO taste whatsoever, I’ve even done it at 100°C with 5g for 5min in less than 100ml of water, and all I got was a faint bitterness. The reason I’m mad is because the tin is VERY EXPENSIVE like 13€ I believe, that’s the price of real high end tea straight from Japan lol. I thought I had trash taste for liking Lipton’s orange flavored black tea but compared to this it’s good and it’s way cheaper
Bonus: I saw they sell clay teapots so I asked if they have gaiwans, they never heard of a gaiwan and had to google it
btw I also have their Earl Grey which I’m drinking right now and same story, smells great with no taste
