I picked this one tonight because I am beginning a week of avoiding caffeine. Attempting to describe the flavor of this tea is difficult. It is rather tart, bordering on sour. That is the main flavor I detect. The tea had a very relaxing effect on me last time and I am hoping for a repeat. This time I steeped it for the full ten minutes. It did not get more bitter with a noticeably longer steep. It did get more tart.
Recommending this tea is with reservations. It had a distinct calming effect on me last time. I am starting to feel the same way again. Taste wise, if you are buying this for how it tastes, buy something else. It is tasty, just there are many better tasting teas. You have to be able to handle a strong tart flavor to like this tea.
I will know in the AM if this tea again lives up to the claims made for effect.
I brewed this once in an 16oz mug with 4 tsp leaf and boiling water for 10 min.
Flavors: Tart
This did not have the stated effect last night, so much for claims.
That’s a bummer.
