After I threw out that awful cup of oolong this morning I grabbed this because it sounded like a nice cup to drink while I eat donuts :)
While it taste nice, it is weak. I brewed this at 210f for 3 minutes and let it do its job in only 6 ounces of water so I could have one strong morning cup of tea, but it just doesn’t provide the umph I was looking for.
I generally steep honeybush up to 10 minutes (keeping the water below boiling, at about 195°F) … this provides a fuller flavor but I usually don’t get “umph” from Honeybush … I need a good strong Assam or something for that.
