It smelled bad (and there was a piece of popcorn in mine!) - it definitely smells like burnt popcorn. Wasn't crazy for the taste either.

I"m having a cup of Alpine Punch instead. My little tin is almost gone. :( :cry: :lol:

I had popcorn, too! Not in the one I brewed. I measured out two teaspoons and it barely made a dent. This one will last a while.

It is popped rice...which isn't bad when it is in Sleigh Ride! Popcorn is in Movie Night...it is much bigger.

Weird coincidence, a co-worker bought it last week and I smelled it and thought wow I would like to try it. First coffee, later herbal tea! But I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it.

This one is one of my favourites! I have a tin of this.

Best without dairy.

I tried to try yesterday's tea...I even brewed it but I could not taste it. The smell put me off.

I liked today's tea. I am not sure I would buy a tin but it was nice. I drank it with nothing in it. I might buy a small bag to try it as iced-tea.

I liked today's tea but I think it would definitely be better iced as Lesley mentionned.

The strawberry rhubarb was ok, but a bit too fruity for me. I'm enjoying the mango one, though.
