Eventho in a previous review I said NOT to oversteep I am contradicting myself yet again! Today I oversteeped…but with less loose leaf steeping. I steeped about 1.5 Tablespoons for about 7 minutes and it still came out good. So…I’m thinking oversteep is ok with loose leaf moderation.
I think I finally figured this one out! I have stated I have enjoyed this in the past but it always tastes different each time…either one flavor more than the other or too strong, etc. Most of the time I like over steeping but for this one I strongly suggest NOT oversteeping. It says 3 mins and I would do no more than 3 mins. I also used less loose leaf – ended up being terrific that way! YAY!
At first smell…black tea, like a berry-plum-like scent and a hint of something that almost smelled like a cleaning supply! Ek! While steeping the aroma morphs into more of a black tea with a hint of earthiness to it. Very interesting. After the steep there is even a hint of blossom or something – the scent really morphs. The taste is certainly a black tea on the lighter side of bold. Nice even taste. Pretty darn good!
