Sometimes this tea tastes great, sometimes I wonder why I bought it. Today it had a good day. I had my daughter make it with 203F water steeping for three minutes. It was super. The last cup of the pot had that bitter edge that this tea can get because you can’t let it cool and you can’t drink the dregs! While it was fresh and hot, it was delightful.
In case anyone wonders why I often say that my youngest daughter makes the tea, it is because afternoon tea time is served between teaching music lessons. She prepares the tea and plates while I teach so that we can go straight to the table when the lesson is over. Today she made an apple walnut cake for our tea time. She is amazing!
Would I recommend this tea? If you need lots of tea for little money and can pay attention to parameters and make sure it is served in the optimum conditions with no forgiveness needed, then yes. I absolutely do. It is a bargain. If you take your tea plain and may not be able to pay attention while making it or you can’t drink it right away or at least get to reheat it, then no.

Can I borrow your youngest daughter to make me tea and cake for when I need a break?
Cheri, she is in the kitchen right now making pumpkin scones with both sugar glaze and pumpkin glaze. We are considering getting some of the magic chain from Stardust to put around her ankle, just long enough to go from her room to the kitchen! She even does all the washing up and clean up from cooking! I am enjoying her new hobby as the scale will testify…She is skinny as a rail and runs every morning at four am so she doesn’t have to worry about it.
I’m jealous at so many levels, it’s not even possible to articulate them all.
