It took a bit of struggling to find the sweet spot, but at 3 minutes this turned out perfect. I like rooibos because I don’t have to worry so much about steeping for too long, but with black tea it feels like if I let it go just a second too long, the tea goes “lolnope”. Such a fickle mistress!
Anyway, I had this with just the tip of a spoon of honey and it’s quite nice. It’s very smooth, and the smell is fantastic and I really wish I could smell like this cup of tea. … Also, I kinda wish there was a little more pronounced bergamot to this, but I really can’t complain because I’m quite enjoying this cup anyway. It might be disappointing as an Earl Grey if someone is really gunning for that bergamot.
