Hyleys (tea): reviews
Despite the fact that this drink has always been considered one of the elite, currently negative reviews, which began to appear more often, cannot but surprise and not disappoint. Many tea owners claim that Hyleys (tea) is not at all what it used to be. Complain about its strange, unpleasant odor, reminiscent of tobacco smoke, which can be felt immediately after opening the package. And the brewed tea itself, or rather its consistency, can no longer be called crystal clear. Perhaps the whole thing is in the increasing fakes, cluttered shop windows. Or maybe the high-profile statements of the manufacturer are, in fact, nothing more than a normal marketing move.
