    I mean… It’s grocery store tea. Same thing as grocery store coffee. It’s in the mediocre range. To convert a non-tea person you need more than just giving them “okay”. If you give someone who doesn’t know tea a mediocre tea and tell them it’s “good tea” you basically just increase the evidence that tea isn’t all that and they don’t see much benefit in seeking it out the same way they would if you go out of your way to blow their mind.

    The reason Yorkshire Gold doesn’t trip your sensitivity is because they roast it longer. It kind of destroys the individual character and flavor profile of the different tea varieties but it means that it becomes nigh impossible to oversteep.
