Title: I didn't think any tea could taste so grotesque...AWFUL
Product review: As a connoissuer of a wide variety of fine loose teas sold by tea specialists, I am not such a "tea snob" that I am above enjoying high-quality packaged teabags produced for the mass market. This tea, however, is the most nauseating blend I have ever sampled. I brewed as per directions, and the "stench," not the aroma, almost prevented me from tasting it, but I did. Taking one small sip proved more than enough. If a smoked side of a hog or such were to be immersed in water, and served as tea, it could not be worse than this "smokey" blend. Even when poured down the sink, the odor left behind required some added clean-up. This was given to me as a gift; a very poor choice. I would not even donate the sealed packets to a food bank...it would be an insult.
