I have to say that I can't recall ever throwing bad tea away.. admittedly I don't think I've ever had something that's actually made me retch, so that's helpful. I have had several things I didn't care for, and I took all of those bags to work, and they're nearly gone! (although apparently no one at works likes Bigelow's Orange and Spice or whatever it is). Other than that, my major disappointments have been by the cup only, which just tells me not to get that the next time I go. And the more I go to the tea place in our mall (disclaimer: local place, NOT Teavana), the more I try things there that I don't like, so it's turning out that I really only like a small handful of their offerings, which is probably good because for the quality they're more expensive than Adagio about 4 times out of 5 (the exceptions that come to mind being their Wuyi, which is pretty decent - especially as an every-day tea, and their Silver Needles, which I haven't tried yet.
Started out the day with some Darjeeling at work, and was just about to reach for some dessert-like tea to get me through the afternoon when I realized that there were cupcakes, because we had an office birthday yesterday - so of course we had to celebrate! (In an office with 12 people, it works out pretty well). So that was it for today, because by the time I wanted something else warm, it was too late for caffeine, so I had some hot spiced cider. Maybe tomorrow I'll have more tea.
