Now that I’m at the bottom of the sample, I’ve finally figured out what I was doing wrong. You just have to steep this stuff double strength to get any flavor at all. Is that the case with all Teavana teas?
Haven’t tried too many of their unflavored “plain” teas, but seems to be the case with the flavors, or at least that’s how they brew them when they make them for you in the store.
I’m just conservative (spelled C-H-E-A-P) enough I don’t like having to double up.
Because this is a fluffy and light weight tea, use1 1/2 tea spoon per 8 oz cup instead of 1 tsp. If you prefer a stronger cup, you can then add more teas to your taste. If you need to add milk, then need to count the milk as part of the water. This tea, you can brew a second time, but with less water. I hope it helps. —Nancy
Still working on my little 2 oz packet; I don’t not like it, but in retrospect, for what I paid for it, I had hoped it would make me go, “Oh, WOW!” instead of, “Oh….nice.”
Sigh. That’s such a bummer when it happens.
Blacks can be more finicky for me than I thought they would be. On some days? Mind quakingly good. On another day, the same tea might be disappointingly bleh. It leads me to believe that I either need to pay much closer attention to what I’m doing or that my palate is not ill-equipped on some occasions to calibrate itself into the “magic” place.
Here’s hoping you hit a sweet note on the tea before your sample runs out.
