Such a tricky tea, but so good when brewed right. 175degrees,1min 45sec seems to be the sweet spot for me. Caramel, brown sugar, and brown butter. A tiny bit of rock sugar really brings out the flavors and makes them sing.
Hello! I live in Los Angeles with my boyfriend and 3 cats [+however many foster cats I have at the moment]. I’m also obsessed with all things spooky.
I became obsessed with the world of tea through DavidsTea years ago. I love to try new brands, so I’m constantly on the look out for new-to-me companies.
