T&C TTB Tea # 9 – Backlog May 24
I had been interested in trying this one based on everyone else’s reviews. My first attempt was a failure because I brought it to the movies in my stainless steel travel mug….stainless my ass. Those things soak up the taste of whatever you put in them, so now mine is basically a mishmash of all the flavoured teas it has previously contained. I will clearly have to get one for black teas.
I tried to get something out of it but with no luck, the mug just ruined it. I couldn’t even tell what colour it was, it was basically a decent, nondescript black tea. And that was me, nondescribing it.
I did try again with the rest of the leaf, it brewed up a dark liquor, malty with very noticable toasty and roasty notes. Slightly fruity.
I drank it after drinking a fruit smoothie so I’m not sure if that affected anything.
(overleafed a bit, 3 min @ 96 degrees)
I would like to try again sometime! Though I can’t recall if this company has reasonable shipping costs to Canada or not.

I like that. Nondescribing a nondescript tea. :D
That’s a shame. And it’s why I avoid stainless for tea. I LOVE this tea, one of my favorites.
Oh man, I love this one too. I do find that I can’t drink it if I am expecting a punch in the face kinda tea. For me it is definitely lighter than I expect.
I love it. Give it another try.
I definitely will if I ever bump into it again!
@whatshesaid. This makes me so sad!
Try brewing the tea with less leaf but for a longer period of time. 96 C should be a good temperature.
Full-Steam is smoother than most breakfast-style black teas. And I’ve definitely met folks who think the smoothness makes the tea bland overall. To each their own! I’m just happy that you gave it a try.
We do ship to Canada. Just send a message through our site if you’re ever interested.
Thanks a bunch for the support.
