THE RUNDOWN
1) First impression: it smells sugary sweet, almost like dried fruit. There’s a bit of “old” in there too, but probably because we’ve had this tea for an age. Nice color.
2) First taste: Hmm. I definitely taste the artificial apricot. It’s not altogether unpleasant, but not like having actually fruit pieces. It’s also a bit dusty. Maybe this was a bad idea.
3) Second taste: Okay, so it’s kind of like a piece of apricot you dehydrated fell behind the toaster oven a got a bit dusty. Like, it still tastes like apricot: the peel, the flesh, the sweetness…but there’s also…like dirt on it. Ugh, bag teas are the worst.
4) Final thought: Don’t get me wrong, I don’t drink bags unless they’re a gift or they are free, but I still won’t be drinking anymore of this. Maybe I can pawn it off on someone who actually drinks decaf. What’s the point of decaf tea anyway?
