The first time I had this I tried it with boiling water, but I just noticed that the instructions say 95°C. Also this does look kind of like a black/green blend post steeping. I didn’t have any adverse effects last time from the boiling water, but I dropped it this time anyway.
I really like the orange/jasmine combo in this one. I think jasmine pairs really well with all kinds of fruit flavors, but in particular citrus flavors. I also like that the orange isn’t super strong here; I feel like a lot of orange teas are maybe too much orange for me; it’s lightly orangey without tasting like someone dropped a ton of orange flavoring on it. This tea is a tiny bit astringent, which I wonder if it isn’t the black tea base that MF uses that I tend to find a bit off. This is one of the few teas I actually like better when it’s still hot because that astringency hasn’t come out yet. Still, I do enjoy this tea a lot.
I was considering this, thanks for your review, it helps!
