Appearance
Messy
The tea was ground too fine. As a result, it was powdery and fell through the tea strainer. We used a coffee filter inside the tea strainer to keep the tea in place.
Too fine for loose tea
I was very disappointed when this tea arrived. It is too fine to use in most of my tea making devices, and that is disappointing. It seeped through 3 different infusers, making the tea not-drinkable. I was able to make it using some paper t-sacs, and it tasted pretty good. I just prefer my loose tea to be in leaf form, like the Twinnings Earl Grey is. Because I prefer using infusers and I hate using t-sacs, and I didn't pay much for it, I'm sadly considering dumping it out and using the tin to store other tea.
powder...impossibleto brew
I used this tea for the first time today and it is like a fine powder. I have an infuser that has very very fine holes and it still went right through them and into my cup. I love the Twinings tea but this is not useable and I will have to throw it out.
Rip Off
This product DOES NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Does not help with the static cling and NO SCENT WHATSOEVER!!!! Even when using multiple sheets. I feel totally ripped off. Don't waste your money.
It's a useful, up-to-date reference.
Buy this before it goes out of print. It has all the naughty words and a number of expressions you won't find in more dated references. There is info on the origin of the word and its degree of vulgarity, familiarity, etc. A number of definitions use British slang, which can be baffling to American readers, like this one.
Deceptive ad!
I just received this, and it comes w/out a battery. No mention of this in the specs, and the battery is an extra $40-60! Also, it is very light duty for such a tool. The instructions show an example of sharpening a knife..... the existence of a tool like this implies that it would be capable of cutting through a steel rod...!?Ripoff!
