Was too lazy to wait for the boiling water to cool, so I just poured in tap water and topped off with the boiling. I don’t regret it, but it IS a different experience. I may have put in a bit too much cold water, though.
Bumping the rating, because I am growing fonder of this tea with every cup.
I have a lot to learn about tea. So far, I know that I love drinking it. Black tea with milk to wake me up in the morning, endless cups of green tea at Chinese restaurants with friends in the evening, spiced tea with sugar for an indulgence, herbal tea with honey to calm me down…TEA!
likes: vanilla, cinnamon, spices
less-liked: fruity teas, artificial additives (although I might be okay if I don’t know about them? I don’t know yet).
I’d like to blend my own tea someday, with essential oils and good quality plain tea and the like. The idea of my own earl grey or monk’s blend is really enticing.
