Bio
Time for a profile update. I’ve been on Steepster since early 2012, and my tastes have expanded since then.
I generally take my tea straight, although occasionally blacks may end up with a splash of milk if I’m after a certain comfort factor. Right now, I’m going through a black phase, although white and oolongs still remain my secret favourite children. Honeybush and Rooibos are still a case-by-case basis.
Likes: Coconut, Peach, Honeydew, Various Melons, Lychee, Nectarine, [Blood and normal] Orange, Tangerine, Berries in general, but specifically Strawberry and Raspberry, Chocolate, Pumpkin, Caramel, Pecan…
Dislikes: Licorice, Coffee, Grapefruit…

I have a sample of this in my cupboard, I look forward to trying it.
Hope you enjoy it Marcel, I’ll be on the lookout for your tasting note!
I would agree. This is a staple of mine too! I steep it for 5 min, which turns out okay if you add milk and sugar, which I do with most black teas. Having some right now! :)
