Today’s tea was a bit of a mystery. Ok, I assume it is a Ceylon, but the mystery was how to drink it.
At first, I just found that it brewed a super weak cup of tea. Forget about a second steep from these leaves!
However, I tried to up the amount of tea used to three small tea spoons. The flavour was now a good ceylon. Although I still couldn’t get resteeps out of it. The tea was a real orange colour in a clear cup or a rose colour in a darker cup.
I think the lesson here is that you need to experiment with your teas to bring the best out of them. Price is definitely a factor in teas you need to use more of. $10 / 100g is a good price, $20 is not!
