I recalled loving this tea and was excited to finally get it restocked. Somehow I seemed to have gone wrong with it because I’m not getting the delicious cup I remembered. It was very heavy on the tannins and the acidity sat hard in my stomach. Maybe I had a creamer I liked better than what I have access to now? Maybe I was using different steeping parameters? I’m not sure what the difference is, but I hope I figure it out quickly!

Hmm, if I am not mistaken, they also have Paris Breakfast. One is better.
Have you tried using cooler than boiling and doing a fast steep. Hope you figure it out soon too.
Tea challenges—ouf! I can relate.
I haven’t tried Paris Breakfast before! I think I need a lower temp on this one.
Thank you for this! I was considering ordering this when I placed my upcoming order from Mariage Freres, but I think I’ll try another one.
It’s hard to pull the trigger on an unknown MF tea when the minimum is a pricey 100g bag!
