Ok ngl I have tried the biscuit one. It smells amazing, so realistically biscuitty, but the taste is...questionable.

So if you're more into sniffing your drinks these could actually be a good shout.

I saw the biscuit one at my local supermarket, and was *very *close to a purchase. Now I'm even more curious what these will smell and taste like! ☕

Why would I want my tea to taste like toast and jam?

No idea. Like Huel: get all the nutrients you need without any of the joy of eating.

My wife bought both months ago when they first came out. I'm a coffee drinker but I was like "really?" but she was quite excited.

Well she tried both of them. Once. They're still in the cupboard, so they must be "wrong."

The toast & jam package design made me laugh, because it looks like the tea is being poured directly into the toaster. Do not try that at home!

Yes! The fight back begins. Tea flavoured jam and jam flavoured tea. What a world that would be.

For some reason I'm thinking about Moss from the IT Crowd shaking his head about this one.

I'm almost having a little heart attack, the IT Crowd has also now been mentioned so it's almost like Reddit didn't have to exist!

I once made the mistake of shouting "Landscape!" at my Wife when she was trying to take a picture of myself and my friends. Now whenever a picture is taken in my presence someone shouts" Landscape!" at me.

I wouldn't mind, but I was right and she was wrong, but I get ridiculed for it.

I just had this same issue - I found that if I opened the image in Photoshop (or similar, eg Photopea) and saved again without changes, a portrait photo works fine. Not sure why that would be though!

No problem - shouldn't really be necessary, but hopefully it's something that'll be fixed at some point :-)

My partner says the biscuit one isn’t too bad, he compared it loosely to Assam.

Cold brew tea, is that a thing? I only want it if it costs a fiver per cup and is served by someone impossibly attractive.

I actually really like the toast and jam one haha, Yorkshire Gold will still be my go-to though

My wife has these both on subscription as her main brew. I'll admit the biscuit one is nice every now and then. I'll stick with Earl Grey though hah.

Unsure about the toast and jam one, but biscuit brew is quite nice. 👍

I didn't mind the biscuit one but the sweetness got to me in the end. The jam one I had one try of and then left the rest in the work canteen wijth a note on saying "please help yourselves".

Back to drinking Barrys constantly again.

We all think it's pretty weird too, don't worry!

Actually have seen coffee in a tea bag in the supermarket quite recently.

No matter what it is, if it can be put in a tea bag, it will be.

This has to be one of the strangest rabbit holes I've ever gone down.
