1.25 tsp for 250mL water @95C, steeped four minutes.
I’ve hardly drunk any tea at all for weeks. What the hell is the matter with me?
Harney’s Russian Country is one of my favourite blends. The whiffs of smoke and toast, the tickle of peach, the heft of what’s either some Indian or Ceylon tea … delicious. And potent. I find this one has quite the caffeine boost. I also find the peach notes from the oolong come out better with water at 95C. Anything cooler and the black teas don’t open up right.
Sometimes drinking this feels like being hit with a tea brick, but it’s worth it. I imagine this would stand up quite well to sugar or honey. I It might also take a bit of lemon well — must try that.
