Awful. Package says lemon tea with lemon peels. Upon opening it, the scent of lemon pledge rushes out of the package. While big chunks of lemon peel are visible in the tea, the brewed flavor is medicinal and harsh. I poured out a full pot and threw away the rest.
I was hoping I’d be able to bear some of this chado order, but so far the best of it has only been mediocre and the rest undrinkable.
Here are the things I drink: Tea, water, coffee, beer, whiskey, wine.
I’ve been drinking tea since I was a little girl, but only recently began learning about tea and drinking loose leaf.
I prefer unflavored tea to flavored, tea leaves to tisanes, but I’m not inflexible and will try nearly anything.
I’m still learning, so thank you in advance for your patience and your help.
Also, I had to come up with a way to quantify my ratings because I was being really inconsistent:
100-90: Delicious, must keep in stock.
89-80: Excellent, a definite reorder.
79-70: Good, an occasional reorder.
69-50: Pleasant, but it was a one night stand.
49-30: Not good, but drinkable.
29-20: Bad, but I finished the cup.
19-10: Terrible. Couldn’t finish a cup.
10 and below: Undrinkable, requires mouthwash and counseling.

Yikes sounds like an earl grey Ceylon I had once. I tried but in the end it to smelled to much like pledge or another innocuous lemon cleanser.
