I just received my samples last night and thanks to another snow day I can sit and enjoy this WOW this is really different! In a good way! I steeped at 208 for 3 min I am not good at describing tea specially for a tea with this much uniqueness I taste some fruity notes I would say it is brisk but no astringency at all . I believe this good be really good iced. I will test that out. But I am not sure I want to stop drinking this hot it is that good! I am going to try a second steep sure hope i get as much flavor! This is a must have in my cupboard I will be placing an order very soon! Probably today since I am snowed in!

Second steep ….. I am excited just as good! Yeah! I steeped at 208 for 4 min. The wet leaves are still firm and I would say wire like I do think I can get a 3rd steep out of this. From what I can tell this is a good high quality tea and even better organic

The 3rd steep just didn’t really do much for me At first it was really fruity sweet but once it cooled it just kinda want flat for me.

Straight black teas are my go to. Not real found of the black teas that have a chocolate flavor though.
I do not like sweetners in my tea unless it’s chai!!
Dark oolongs are also a favorite when I can take the time to relax and enjoy the many steepings.
I am starting to venture out into some green teas and finding them to be quite enjoyable to my surprise!
For a few years I have been on the search for the perfect loose leaf classic black tea. Sure have had lots of fun trying to find it!! I have came close but haven’t found THE one yet
In the winter time when I am home I drink my tea hot all day. Warmer weather it is ice tea for me!
Add on as I have broadened my tastes
I have now ventured into pu-erh!! Oh my! I have fallen in love with sheng! I have tried shou many times just can not get used to that flavor. I have even made my self a Pumidor out of a dorm style refrigerator. I have had it for a month now and I try and keep the humidity around 70% and the temp is around 60 to 65 I only have 5 cakes in it right now but my plan is to buy one cake a month to fill it up. As if I can only stop at one a month. haha
I have learned a lot here on steepsters. So much wonderful information!
Also I am not good at keeping my cupboard updated but I have over 100 teas. Mostly all straight teas. I just can not get into the flavored ones.
