Today's unpleasant discovery

I do like an afternoon pot of green tea, but - ugh! - not with ginseng, apparently. It tastes as if it it's had some ghastly artificial sweetener mixed in. And now I have a whole packet to work through. That'll teach me to stray from the strait path of antioxidant goodness. First it was green instead of white, then green with added bergamot (a little decadent?), and now this ginseng perdition - the death of a thousand perforations. Fly, fly my friends! Learn by my fate!
