90

As my advent calendar is (bio) infusion based, which is not at all what I normally drink – and even less what I usually enjoy drinking – I have been picking from my cupboard to drink the rest of the day. I´m slowly finishing this EG tea, and an updated tasting note is due.
As Martin suggested 2 years ago, I´ve been crushing the juniper berries in a mini mortar before steeping, and this really makes a difference : the juniper comes also through in the final taste, even in the 2nd brew. Nice. I might even buy more of this blend, although I need to finish a lot more teas (they currently don´t all fit in the dedicated cupboard!) before I do so.

Flavors: Bergamot, Floral

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 250 ML

Bio

Introduced to tea by my sister-in-law in my country of birth = Belgium more than 30 years ago, I still love tea, mainly black, which I enjoy without sugar or milk. Having lived in UK, near good tea shops (e.g. Betty´s all over Yorkshire), I tend to buy most of my tea in bulk from tea shops (as such, most of these are not represented in my on-line cupboard). Nowadays, I live in Spain where tea gives me another sensatory bliss (as wine or beer or coffee can give me too).
