180 Tasting Notes
A great substitute for coffee. Using 1 tsp per 6 oz, I prepared it three ways: plain, with rock sugar and milk, and with flavored coffee creamer. Same with coffee, I love it black or with cream, sweetened or not. Re-steeped with boiling water for 3 mins, flavor was still strong but a tad bit milder. I should have tried increasing the steep time. Next time…

I love this tea! Prepared using 1 tsp per 6 oz. It’s a perfect combination of cinnamon and spice. The Dragonwell base fits in just right. Re-steep #1: boiling water for 3 mins, retained good flavor. Re-steep #2: boiling water for 3.5 mins, still good.

I think that an important part of learning about tea is trying several ways to drink it. Plain, sweetened, with milk or cream and so on. This road of discovery reveals the hidden wonders in some tea’s. A plain black tea or puerh can become pastry or caramel with additions, but a thin tea can be limp with milk.
What I’m trying to say is…keep doing what your doing. Your palate will benefit.
