1st Steep of the Day.
This was my wifes choice at the Tea shop
She enjoys light/Green teas more then my Blacks.
But the smell was what sold her on this one.
The Dry Green is so Strong with Almond.
You can’t wait to steep it.
A 3 min Steep in 205 (not boiling water)
Starts your flavorful journey.
Liquor is Clear Green.
with the same rich Almond smell as Dry leaves.
And the Strong Flavor infuses into the Cup.
My better half still knows best.
Keep on Steepin

1st Steep of the Day is this Great Metro Huckleberry
This tea was given to me by my Sister-in-law.
And it is my all Time Favorite.
5 min. steep with boiling water.
The Black Tea becomes Golden Brown
and the Flavor excites the fruit receptors on the tongue.
What a Treat.

2nd Steep of the day.
Great Tea from the start.
Dry tea smells peachy sweet.
Steeping smell is even stronger.
Taste is Bold Black Robust Tea presence.
With Strong Peach Overtones, Ginger is just noticeable,
Wish the ginger was more profound.
Delightful Cup.

1st Steep of the Day after lunch
After a Cube Steak and Indian Rice with Raisins Lunch.
I wanted a Fruity Cup to close the lunch hour.
I went with this Fortunes Cranberry Orange.
This is a great Black Ceylon Tea, Bold and Robust.
The added flavorings of Cranberry and Orange Explode.
Great Drink after the Indian spiced rice dish.
Seems like a new standard might have been created.
