This is from the Lewis & Clark teabox a while back. Why… this is too light and sweet to be The Jabberwocky! This is a mix of three black teas: I’ve tried the Ailaoshan on its own a while back and I know I have a little bit of the Fujian around (not tried yet). The Wild Arbor Yunnan sounds nice. Primarily the flavor reminds me of a lighter, sweeter Laoshan, but somehow I think I like it better than Laoshan (though the flavor in general I’m beginning to like more and more.) I can’t really pinpoint what the other teas would taste like without the Fujian, though if they are all Chinese black teas, they probably have a similar flavor profile anyway. Somehow I was able to make all three steeps fairly similar – such a light cup but very smooth and caramel delicious. I’ll try the Fujian alone soon. Again, doesn’t bring to mind the Jabberwocky but I love the name!
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 tsp // 10 min after boiling // 3 min steep
Steep #2 // 7 min after boiling // 4-5 min
Steep #3 // just boiled // 7 min
Flavors: Caramel

You should give this a go with 1tbsp if it comes around to you again. That’s my preferred method but many people said that it was too strong.
I thought you said 1 tbsp. was too strong before… I have a little more left so I will certainly try it again with three teaspoons eventually!
:-) Yeah, I personally love it with 1tbsp, other people, not so much. haha
