Lovely as before. I let it steep longer this time and it produced a sweeter coconut flavor, which is really nice. I thought this would go well with dinner (Indian takeout tonight), and it’s wonderful. This seems to grow on me more the more I drink it, which is a characteristic of my favorite teas, so it may creep up in my rankings over time. I think I’ll resteep this one later.
Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.
I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
