Nestle Nasties

This afternoon I was cleaning some stuff out of the kitchen cupboard and came across a pack of Nestle coffee samples. So I thought, grr, these have been here ages and I fully don't intend to ever drink them, they're not even organic (and even more to the point, freeze-dried coffee, ugh!). At the time I'd been boiling the jug and I found I was out of tea, so I thought oh well how much can it really hurt? I'll try them and either just take a sip of each and ditch the rest to try the flavours, or I'll drink the one I like if indeed I liked any. There were 3 flavours: Kenjara, Cap Colombie and Alta Rica. So there I was with three coffee cups, poured the satchels in (I sniffed them at this stage: they all smelt about the same), poured the water in, poured some milk in, sipped.

All I can say is yuck, yuck and blergh! What was I thinking? Alta Rica was the worst, but they all tasted pretty much the same. I poured them down the sink. (Could've fooled me that they were different flavours.)

Is it just me, or do all samples that you get in the mail suck? I guess that I should just chuck that sampler Dilmah Strawberry flavoured tea straight in the bin without even wondering! I keep meaning to post a "no junk mail" sign on our mailbox...

Anyway, I'm glad I'm out of tea. It had too much caffeine in it anyway. I'll have to look for a low/no caffeine biodynamic tea (if something like that exists).
