This tea was not for me. Other people love it, but nope.
I made it before a meeting, and that first mug was mostly okay but not anything that impressed me. Okay, not entirely true as I was impressed with how huge the leaves got while steeping. But the flavor wasn’t all that exciting. I was in a horrible meeting, and maybe that was it, right?
I figured I probably did something wrong with it and decided to try again. I hadn’t had time this morning to get the kettle out at work, so I was just guesstimating on the water temperature. This time, I pulled the kettle out and made sure the temperature was right before trying again.
It was still just maybe okay, and on the downer side of okay. But I thought maybe it was the flavoring added to the tea (others say they don’t see that, and I agree on the bad it seems to indicate that it doesn’t have flavoring in it, but on the website, it clearly says it has flavoring added to it) and that by itself it would be better. The resteep was so horrible I dumped it out.
So this tea isn’t for me, and I have two tablespoons pulled out of the 50g bag. Oh well. Other people seem to love this tea. I’ll just put the rest into traveling tea boxes I’min.
