When I try to steep longer, with less water in the cup, to get more green tea flavor, the result is overpowered by the mint. Better to enjoy the tea and mint in balance and lighter. When brewed that way, I like the snappy flavors together, especially in the afternoon.
I need coffee; I love tea.
I have been learning about tea since I was a teenager, but joining Steepster has accelerated my education.
I gave up soda (completely) this Spring and have re-discovered tea to fill the afternoon void.
I like strong, well balanced tastes. I ferment my own mead, cider, and sauerkraut.
I like green tea, oolong, black tea, flavored black tea, pu-erh, and some tisanes! Oh, and Mate, too!
Lately, I have been most enjoying nutty green teas and oolong teas.
