Extremely bitter orange, like a cleaning product
I’m baffled by the good reviews of this tea when the orange flavor is so bitter that it’s undrinkable to me, to the point it takes like a cleaning product. Did I get a bad batch with pith in the orange causing horrible bitterness? Maybe. I brewed it according to the instructions and even tried cold brewing for only 20 minutes, which should produce the least bitterness. It’s not user error or lack of trying. It’s the tea. Also, FYI for those considering it, this is one of those “teas” that contains few tea leaves and a lot of other things like almonds, etc. in it. Some people like that type. No judgment. But for me (more of a Rishi brand type of tea drinker) it’s usually a red flag in a tea. Thankfully this was a gift, so I’m not out anything for having tried it. I’m still shocked by the extreme bitterness, though. Sadly it was so bad that I won’t be buying from this brand in the future.
