I'm not a big tea drinker
I love the smell of the fruity ones but they all taste like damp cardboard.

Give me a mug of hot vimto instead any day.

you're meant to steep the bags
not the box

But they all sound and smell full of such promise!
and then when you drink them it's like drinking hot water out of a mug someone has previously used to make squash in but not washed before using again.

I've discovered two ways to enjoy 'fruit/speciality' teas
1. Accept that they are not fucking tea. In any way. They are a hot beverage akin to Lemsip.
2. keep the bag in the tea as you're drinking it, and keep waggling it about. Otherwise it will be weak as piss.

The trick is actually to
1. Smell it, mmm, that smells fruity and nice, and then
2. Pour it away to avoid the crushing disappoinment that what you thought was going to taste similar to its smell ACTUALLY tastes of stagnant pondwater.
