What did I do? This tastes extra awesome today! I can really taste the fig in this, plus there’s a sweet honey-like note accompanying the figs. It’s all in the parameters.
I don’t have a variable temp kettle, neither do I keep a close eye on the steep time, but I did measure 4g of tea for my Nordic mug, and poured the water in a couple minutes after the kettle turned off. Then I let it steep for a couple minutes? Maybe 2.5 minutes? I’ll try this again with the last of it, and with more DF teas to see if I can pinpoint my optimal steeping parameters for these teas.
It’s like fig jam. Really, it is.

I like the DF teas steeped a little shorter I think. As in, I time 3 min before pouring instead of after. Since my timer doesn’t do seconds. :)
I do them all at 4. Funny!
yeah… i tend to brew my fancy french ones at 3.5-4 mins. but lower the temp a little (so no omg..i don’t do EVERYTHING at boiling)
Oh yah I do 195.
Hehehe. I steep most things at 195 or cooler though. I find most others use hotter water than I do.
