Interesting – most of the time I find that Adagio’s steeping recommendations are too high but in the case of this tea 7 minutes might not be too much at all. This cup was steeped for 5 minutes and while I am getting some flavour – delicate sweet hay – it’s pretty faint.
I’m a university student in her twenties who’s currently working her way toward a Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree. I love both science and science-fiction and I’m a history nut on top of that. Maybe I should just call myself a nerd and leave it there. ;)
I’ve been drinking tea since I was young but it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve become interested in the good-quality stuff.
It all depends on how much leaf is used. I use a ton of leaf so I use very short steeping times.
