Yorkshire Tea now make a 'biscuit' flavoured tea. I was feeling adventurous the other day so decided to broaden my flavour knowledge by purchasing a box.
I'm a lover of biscuits in tea, particularly the biscuit known as the Malted Milk. I believe it not only tastes exceptional when sufficiently moistened, but I also believe it's one of the great tea enhancers. The wonderful malty taste in a Malted Milked brew makes my tongue feel snuggley and relaxed: Like it's sitting in front on a fire on a cold winter's evening wearing slippers and a onesie. I waited for an appropriately mellow time during the day, 4 o'clockish if I remember correctly, and made myself a cup. I was disappointed. It had a buttery but artificial tang to it which was most unpleasant. Irstead of the onesie and slippers my tongue was longing for, it felt more like an Auntie's knock off Crocs and a nylon tracksuit.
I'm all for a bit of experimentation. It's how science, humanity and biscuits advance. You don't invent the Bourbon by playing it safe, so while I approve of the risk taken by Yorkshire Tea in searching for innovative new bags, I just don't like it.
AIBU in giving Biscuit Tea 3 out of 9?
