Progressively More Dissapointing
I've been buying Good Earth Tea for close to 10 years. I really liked the flavor and felt a sense of comfort drinking it. In the past few years the taste has been questionable. Recently, I bought the Amazon bulk pack of 6 boxes. Every single one of the teabags I sampled from different boxes is bitter. I then purchased a box of Sweet and Spicy from another store and it was bitter. I then purchased another box from a neighboring state, hoping it would be from a different production batch, and it too was bitter.
As an alternative I have tried the caffeinated version and the organic version. The caffein type does taste better but can't drink it at night when I am most likely to drink tea. The organic version is a very weak-flavored tea with very little to differentiate it from tap water.
For a time it was enjoyable and mildly medicinal for my digestion.This last purchase went beyond my tolerance for bitterness. I think, at this point, I am done with Good Earth tea.
