nerdfelt advent, day 2
A tea called Second Breakfast felt like a good place to start my day.
It honestly didn’t seem like black tea at all. The mint and lemon were so strong, the color so light, that it seemed like an herbal. I liked the lemon peel – it was less artificial than a lot of lemon teas. In all, a pleasant cup, but it didn’t stand out for much but the name.
Flavors: Lemon, Mint

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.
My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!
90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
