This week's pick from the tea sampler was the exotic Egyptian Chamomile. This tea smelled like grass. No, not the kind you smoke, but the kind you mow. I didn't think the tea had any taste at all. Adding a spoon of honey just made it taste like hot water and honey.
Add this one to the no thank you column.

That's my favorite afternoon blend especially with vanilla for a London Fog
DeleteI am such a boring person! I thought of mowed grass...
ReplyDeleteHere Baked Apple tea with milk, yum. Happy T-Day.
Baked apple tea with milk sounds so comforting.
DeleteI wonder if you can make a hot beverage with the other “grass” — I’ve never thought of that.
ReplyDeleteIf you can bake it into brownies, I bet you could make medicinal tea
DeleteGreat to try new teas, but camomile isn't my favourite either 😊. Take care and happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo
DeleteIt doesn't sound very pleasant. I hope you get some good teas out of this sampler. And stay warm. Brrrr. Have a happy T day.
ReplyDeleteBeen outside trying to free the Eldest's car that is frozen to the ice. 🥶Have a cuppa now
DeleteIMHO most of the flavored teas belong in that column. ☹️
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to suspect it's like kale. Everyone raves about it, but no one really likes it. 🤣
DeleteHow disappointing. But it's good that you got samples. At least it teaches you which ones not to get.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day,
Lisca
That's a good thing, too
DeleteThere is always at least of this kind in any sampler, right? Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteSometimes quite a few
DeleteI drink chamomile tea when I have an upset stomach... Both aren't exactly pleasant (but if I have to choose one of the two, it would be the chamomile tea). Happy belated T day!
ReplyDeleteI use peppermint tea for an upset stomach
DeleteToo bad it didn't taste like anything as it is supposed to be good for you. So fun to have a sampler though. Happy T-day, CJ and hugz
ReplyDeleteYeah, as Lisca said, it teaches me what not to buy
DeleteI have never been a fan of camomile tea. And this sounds even worse. Sorry I am late visiting, but I am thrilled beyond belief that you shared your T Stands For Tuesday post and the latest sample tea with us this week.
