My tea word of the week must be penultimate – now I am drinking the next to the last serving of this (very, very beloved!) tea. I am going to miss this milky, chewy, gentle but flavorful, always right no matter what kind of mood you are in tea. I was kind of silly and soaked the leaves for 10 minutes for a 5th steep, I love it so much :) It was weak, but I still enjoyed its essence.

What’s silly about a 5th steep?
I only usually do 3 steeps on this tea – it’s pretty weak by the 4th, and pretty silly by the 5th! It still retains the essence of the tea, but it is comical how weak it is. But I love the flavor so much I rather have a watery steep than no steep at all!
Oh ok, well if it was watery then yeah it’s silly. I’ve gotten more than 5 steeps out of several teas.
