Metropolitan Tea Company

Success! 150F, 2 min. By paying closer attention to water temp and steep length, I did justice to this delicious tea. Genuine natural jasmine notes float in the nostrils while vegetal juciness fills the mouth, with both lingering afterwards.

This is one of my favorite Assams. I generally use 1 teaspoon per cup or 5 teaspoons per 4-6 cup teapot. Brew time is 5 mins.
This is a full bodied malty tea that gets even better with a little milk & sugar.

One of my favorite tea

My first cup of tea for the new year is the last of this tea in my stash. It’s a really good cup. And it’s pretty to watch steeping, too.

I went through my tea cupboard at home yesterday and turned up several teas with only 2-3 more cups left to go. This was one of them. I’m sure I was saving it because I really like it, but I figured if I really like it I should go ahead and have a cup. So I am.

first steep, just as good as the second.

(I brewed two cups, and had the second steep first, to see if I could tell the difference.)

with agave nectar

Used my last paper filter to get a cup of this. Just what I needed. Now I need new filters!

A very good cup of green tea.
