Advent Day 1 for 2024!
I ordered several teas with my advent and I’m having a hard time getting the hang of steeping them. The flavors aren’t what I’d hoped, but I’ve had challenges with other French tea companies too. Tried a lighter steep on this and it seems to have worked. I’ll have to compare some of the other teas that I have more than one serving of with a side by side steep of different parameters.
I get the pecan notes for sure! The base is light and the whole tea feels very light. Hard to pick out the chocolat notes. Or maybe they blend in so well I can’t pick them out? It’s nice, but not something I’d feel the need to buy. One of those “if I came across it again I’d take another cup” sort of teas.
So glad it actually showed up!
I often have to go light in steeping French teas – a tad lower temp or a tad shorter steep or both.
Thanks, Kaylee! me too! I was worried for a minute. The order confirmation emails were all going to my spam folder and I had thought my search would have included that.
There are a few French companies that I can do my usual steep settings with. The ones that don’t fall into that category throw me off! I think you are right with the lighter settings.
