This tea is always so amazingly fantastic. We made a big pot of it tonight, using up most of my sweetie’s stash, and it was loaded with grape and malt flavours, as always.
It’s so interesting – my sweetie and I make tea with such different steeping parameters, but I always enjoy their results, though I don’t think I would if I made tea at home the same way. We both western brew, but I tend to go for much shorter steeps of the same teas. Usually 2-3 min for blacks, 30 sec – 2 min for greens and 4min for oolongs. They do 5 min for blacks, 3min for greens and 7 min for oolongs. The tea they make here rarely ever tastes oversteeped. We’re both using city tap water, have the same variable temp kettle, use about the same ratio of leaf to water, and generally follow the temperature directions given by the seller. Very curious.
And raising my rating on this, because I really love it so much.
Flavors: Grapes, Malt
