Oh this is so good. I thought by steeping it for such a short time it wouldn’t taste like anything. But it’s so flavorful! It’s savory, sort of nutty, and then it’s definitely sweet, and I love the dryness of it. It’s definitely got a bold flavor. On the second steeping, there is a toasty flavor going on.
I think I have one of those problems where I’m like “this is my favorite!” and it turns out everything is my favorite.
Right? I felt the same way about the steep time. But it was definitely perfect that way.
I tend to keep my Chun Mei tea steeps short—2.5 to 3 min. Brewed that way it is a pretty good tea. Never tried a second steep on this one though.
