This was on the mandatory restock list when we went to Savoy a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, since that particular storefront was winding down before it closed, the only option for purchase was tea sachets.
I generally dislike sachets for two reasons: portion control (never enough tea) for my 12 ounce go-to-work tumbler and the strings are always, always too short. Yeah, I could’ve cut two bags open and freed the leaves, but I was in a hurry. So to compensate for the scant amount of tea, I bumped up the steep time to 5:30. Didn’t accomplish the desired results—just a watered-down version of the original. This is still an excellent tea of the wheat-and-bread crust variety when you are in control of the spoon.

I will agree that too many teabags and sachets don’t really hold enough tea. (This is especially true of Republic of Tea products.) But my dear, after reading through how you tried to compensate, I did not get any flavor notes beyond “…of the wheat-and-bread-crust variety”, which still didn’t tell me exactly what kind of tea this was. I had to click on ‘Golden Snail by Savoy tea Co’ to get your lovely initial review of it! So now I know. And it sounds tasty. I even appreciate why it’d be on your mandatory restock list! Will put this one on my Wish List.
