I pulled this out to see how much I had for a swap and realized that I have not had a cup in a while. I remember really liking this tea but my tastes have changed and this is no longer a favorite. It is chocolatey and cakey but really nothing special. I have tried this tea time and time again and I am bored of it. There are much better options out there which is probably why I don’t reach for this anymore.

I was reading some of my old tasting notes the other day. It’s funny how our tastes evolve.
It just makes me sad that I loved a tea so much that I stocked up and now I can’t get through a glass of it :(
I know what you mean. I made a cup of David’s Genmaicha the other day and it went down the sink. It seemed too harsh, which doesn’t seem Genmaicha-like to me. At least I have Japon. :)
I fear that my tastes will change and I won’t love Japon but then I drink Japon and laugh at my silliness :P
This one went downhill for me very quickly. The first two cups were enjoyable, but after that, way too sweet and chemically.
Hahaha! Absolutely. My tastes seem to be towards higher quality teas as time goes on. Not all the time, but in general. Although I refuse to try anyone else’s straight guayusa since I drink so much of it and it’s so easy to get from David’s haha.
I agree! I was happy to swap it away to someone who would enjoy the rest of it better than me.
