1 sachet for a 300mL mug. Water at 90C. Steeped 5 minutes, drunk bare.
Do not oversteep. With ooloong-temp water and a three-minute steep, Joy is lovely, light, a bit creamy, a bit astringent, a bit sweet. By 5 minutes, it’s getting bitter. Joy is quite the diva, but treated well, this tea delivers.

At about 2 minutes, a pleasant peppery bite (Yunnan) came out, but it got lost afterwards. (I left the bag in as I sipped — won’t be doing that again.)
I tried some at Starbucks last weekend. I was impressed to see them offer a “full-leaf” tea, I haven’t seen that from Tazo before. Mine was a little bit oversteeped, though, so I might get a box and experiment with it myself. Thanks for the review!
