Ok, I think I’m zeroing in on good steep parameters for this black tea from Nina’s – and by extension, other black teas from Nina’s. Today, I used 2 tsp, 16 oz, 92C water and a 3 minute steep. I think I could have safely increased the steep to 3 mins and 30 seconds, but it was still good.
This time the tea was nice and smooth, while still being gentle enough for the fruit flavours to come forth. There’s a tiny bit of astringency at the back of the sip, but it’s minor. Now to see if this will work with my other Nina’s teas, like Je T’aime and Eve. Here’s hoping…
