I blame the fact these are probably a good few years old and have only been in the waxed paper bag they originally came in. I purchased them a long time ago and shoved them into the cupboard and neglected them ever since.
Perhaps 1 bag would have been sufficient, but they were so old and not scented....alas not the comforting cup I was seeking.
Out of deference to the poor conditions and age of the bag I will refrain from rating this tea, I have memories of it being a good bed time tea.
Post-Steep Additives: none
