Steep

This quality chamomile was full-flavoured without being astringent; just loads of floral, apple-scented, knock-you-out chamomile. My favourite from the Steep line so far (I bought a mixed packet from a hotel room pantry) but really, I’d have a hard time purchasing it again, before my standby bulk chamomile from a reliable herbalist.

Not strong enough.

Kid stuff. This was a mild green, faintly sweet and grassy in balance, and inadequate weight for my tastes. I prefer more viscosity, which this tea just didn’t provide, at both 2 minute and 4 minute first-steeps. This tea tasted like the tail-end of a strawberry aqua fresca, after the ice has long melted into the last traces of crushed fruit. This could be nice chilled, with honey and a touch of lemon.
