September Sipdown Challenge Prompt – a teabag tea
I think this is the only teabag tea I had on hand other than some samples from Lupicia and Harney & Sons.
This is an easy tea that is very cheap and very accessible. I bought it last winter when we were quite low on decaf options. I enjoyed it when I really just wanted something hot at night and I wasn’t in the mood for herbals or added flavors.
It tastes a little woody like those school ice cream spoons and I sometimes get those high minty notes I associate with high elevation Ceylon. It steeps up dark and probably tastes good with milk and sugar if you like that, but I have been drinking it plain for too many years to remember what it tasted like with additions.
Since I have lots of Teeccino right now as well as my standby decaf teas, I won’t repurchase this for a while, if ever. I don’t hate it, I just don’t need it. It is convenient – bags, boiling water, buy at most groceries, and budget-friendly. It’s not a show stopper but it doesn’t pretend to be anything besides good ol’ comfort tea that you can have at night.
Making a note for when I run out of Ty-phoo decaf.
We need a word for “inexpensive” that starts with b for the alliteration!
Fixed it!
Yay! The Four B’s of Teas!
