I finally hit my sweet spot with this one. You know, the parameters that make it juust right. I realized that this is not a timolino tea (which is how I usually make tea at work); I guess the leaves don’t have enough room to expand in that little basket so it leads to a weaker brew with a bit of sourness.

So now I give those little guys lots of room to do their thing, and I can really taste the difference. SO much richer and more chocolatey! I’ve taken this off the work tea rotation and designated it as an at-home treat tea, which makes me love it even more. Up goes my rating!

Bio

I recently discovered loose leaf after a long and uninspiring relationship with teabags. I’ve been in love ever since (sorry bags, I just don’t feel that spark anymore).

Food is a passion for me and my love of scents and flavors has translated into an excitement for trying new teas. I’m trying to expand my palate with all different types, and currently my favorites are oolongs and greens.
