I typically love Harney & Sons, so I was excited to pick this up on sale. I don’t taste the same things others seem to, though. To me it just tastes creamy and grassy, and not in a way I find especially appealing. The lemongrass is overwhelming and I can’t taste the ginger at all. I want to love it, but even after multiple tries over several days I find this tea disappointing. I would not buy it again.

I used 1 bag in 16 ounces of near boiling water, steeped for about 5 minutes.

Usually the amount of water per serving would be 8oz by American standards. Green tea often is better a little under boiling…so if you were to try again, less heat and less water might produce a better tasting tea. ( not 5 min.) . Take a look at getting on the free tea program from Teavivre that most of us have enjoyed. GO to the website and I think it’s on the right hand side.(free tea for reviewing).
