Went to the Indian market yesterday an bought some tea. This seems to be whole leaf tea but small leaf. The aroma is very pleasant. It tastes much better than the standard Lipton you get in an American supermarket. This definitely tastes like tea, not brown liquid. It’s a little bit bitter, a little bit astringent, and a little bit sweet. This is actually decent tea. I bought it to see if the stuff the local Indian community drinks is any good. It’s not bad.
I brewed this once in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 2 min.
Preparation

Yes this one is not too bad for the price. Keep your eye out for Lopchu in the next couple of months ( first harvest is usually in Feb). It’s fairly broken Leaf but it’s a pretty nice Tea if you can get it and it can be very cheap at the grocers.
