T2

Not a bad flavour, but incredibly incredibly weak … you have to steep for more than five minutes to get any colour (or flavour) in it at all … they really need to strengthen this tea up a bit

WHEE I went to sleep at 5am and woke up at 11am and drank a whole pot of this tea. Good job, self. You’re an adult.

A big cup of this in bed this morning with a dash of sugar and cream means who needs coffee to start the day today? Not me! Ah, I love late shift.

I guess steeping this for too long overwhelms any mango flavour in here, because I NEVER pick up much of a mango scent. I’d love to, because I love mango, and Brisbane is my hometown, but gosh. I’ve got just enough of this left to try one more infusion for the time being but there are plenty of other T2 city breakfast teas I prefer. Oh well.

I’ve twice spliced a teaspoon of this with a teaspoon of T2 Apple Crumble today, in part because I thought they’d do well together and in part because that’s what I had with me at work…

I love how tart the Apple Crumble is. It’s not overwhelmingly sweet and I love that. A spoonful of sugar (or even a half tsp) would give this just enough sweetness for me to probably declare it right on as a tops combination, but as I was too lazy to do that, I can’t confirm yes or no.

Who knows… it’s still in my bag, I could get around to it next work day.

But I’ve got tomorrow off, so NOT THEN!

Sick baby took a whole pot of this up to bed this evening, shoved a whole bunch of honey into it, had a real nice time. Have T2 tooled with the blend? I don’t think it’s as obnoxiously clove-filled as it may have used to be. Or maybe I’m so ill right now that I just can’t taste it.

Actually kinda works in yoghurt…

The super sweet scent of this in dry form actually enticed Hubby to have some with me during dinner tonight! I mean, it really is very sweet-smelling, and Hubby’s got a very big sweet tooth. It was nice to have with Korean bulgogi tonight, but maybe the actual sweetness of the marinade overtook the sweetness from the jasmine aroma so I noticed more of the bitterness in the tea this time. Still enjoyable and a nice change from the usual iced tea with dinner, but I’ll try another tea with Korean next time. Sencha worked well before; maybe Genmaicha Sencha next.
