I resteeped the leaves from yesterday and served this for a guest and myself today. Lovely! My guest enjoyed it. Her remarks, “This smells so sweet! And tastes nutty!” The color is now very light, but the flavor is lovely and the mineral quality is just starting to peek through. I would guess it gets more pronounced on subsequent steeps.
I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.
We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
