i think my tastebuds are not in sync with the rest of the world. I’ve tried a number of straight David’s teas now and i pretty much hate them all. Price for what you’re getting is not that great and the teas themselves are always on the end of yuck for me versus YAY! take this one for example, sent in the grab bag of the BBB Box. The instructions for this tea say basically boiling for 4-5 mins. I brewed it at 3 and i’m left with a gross bitter, astringent tea that leaves a foul taste in my mouth. It doesn’t smell nice and while i can recognize the malt notes in the background of the blech, it’s not enough to make me want to play with this tea at all, especially given the price – 9.50 for 100g! jeeebus. no way.

I think your problem is that you are trying these AFTER you’ve tried the best versions of these teas, while (I imagine)a lot of the people who try these from DAVIDs are curious noobs looking to branch out/experiment with unflavoured teas. I wonder how my ratings would compare now if I went back and tried them again!
Still, after comparing your experience with my review I am a little surprised that it was so bitter and astringent! :|
i wouldn’t serve this to anyone lol
I didn’t get anything horrible, just black tea brewed at 3 minutes. Nothing great either. Do you add sugar?
never.
