This tea loaf is a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.

This tea loaf is a bit dense for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more baking powder next time.

This tea loaf was a disappointment. It was dry and bland, and the texture was crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
