Disappointingly little flavour

Very basic ingredients and no added sugar, citrus flavour; I was so excited to try this tea! Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.

The first thing about this tea that annoyed me right away was the instructions said to use 170ml of water. That's barely any. I know it's hard to tell from my photos, but in a small mug, that's half the mug. If you use a tiny tea cup, this won't be a problem, but lots of folks drink their tea in small mugs and if you need to use two tea bags a cup, that's veering into luxury territory.

Still, I wanted to test the flavour accurately so I filled it the exact amount before trying it.

Both green tea and mandarin orange have a lovely zesty, zingy taste. This tea tastes of nothing. It has a light, pleasant, orange scent, but the flavour of the tea lacks even that. I'd be hard pressed to tell that it was even green tea and I'm a super taster! (too many taste buds). It really has very little flavour. Perhaps 5% green tea flavour if I'm being generous, the rest is just a bland generic tea taste.

I really love citrus flavours and was expecting a burst of delicious tea that mixed green tea and mandarin, but it didn't deliver that at all.

The tea bags are individually wrapped which is a waste of packaging materials, but some might prefer for transporting them or having them in a break room.
