Not much, but capable for maine to not privation to dunk my digestive successful there! However, the flavour didn’t disappoint. Strong capable to springiness a hearty flavour, but not implicit bearing. It was enjoyable, but seeing the residue near successful the mug afterwards was disappointing. And not the champion worth for money.

Excellent worth for wealth - astir treble the terms for treble the magnitude of Tetley teabags - these were disconnected to a bully start.

However, erstwhile one took my archetypal sip, my temper dunked much than the container itself. It was conscionable similar drinking blistery water. There was nary flavour whatsoever.

Within seconds of the h2o being poured in, my bosom sank quicker than the Titanic. A furniture of scum appeared astatine the apical of my cuppa, without maine adjacent touching the teabag.

Yes, you got a just fewer bags for your money, but it was a implicit waste. Revolting.
