Sipdown! 145/365!
Drank this while watching the GoT finale last night. Luckily, I tried it before the show started, otherwise I would have just been blindly consuming it. I was actually fairly impressed with it; I have no familiarity with quinces, but there was an unfamiliar flavour in the tea which could have been it, and it was pleasant. Aside from that, it mostly tasted like a non-hibby fruity black tea (heavy on the fruit, very light on the tea). Had I had more of it, it would have been a great candidate for iced tea, but I only had a cup’s worth remaining of my sample.
Overall, not bad, as always I wish there was a bit more actual tea flavour in here, but the fruit combination was sweet and pleasant.

I didn’t do the GoT thing, but I did mist up during the Big Bang Theory finale? Endings everywhere. Mercy, what will we all WATCH now? (I think I can hold out till the Downton Abbey movie in September. Maybe. ;)
I only watched the first few episodes of the first season and stopped because it was such a chore to acquire the episodes. Should fire it back up! Although I hear that this recent season has been quite polarizing for watchers.
@gmathis – I was much too far behind to watch the Big Bang Theory finale, but I’ve had portions spoiled for me, so I’m a bit annoyed! I never watched Downton Abbey, but it did always interest me.
@ashmanra – Unfortunately, I think this one was limited edition from last year(?) so probably still unavailable. I’m curious if there are other quince teas around, though.
@Fjellrev – I think we streamed them from various places until we got an unpleasant email about it…. so we purchased HBO + Crave for one month so we could watch past episodes and catch the finale live. Hahahaha. (Bonus, we also got to watch the rest of Westworld, though we’ll miss season 3 of it as our subscription is done in a week.)

I don’t think I have ever tasted quince! I will have to check it out.

Also, yes, polarizing is one word for it. I’m at peace with it and don’t think the ending was terrible, but parts did feel rushed, especially when compared to some of the goings-on in previous seasons.
