Oh, wow. I think the only thing I’d do differently next time is steep 15-30 seconds less, because there was a slight “overcooked” astringency. Overall this was a very clean tea- the green and spearmint worked perfectly and I was able to taste both rather nicely. Yum!
My tea habits:
*I am an unashamed Lipton iced-tea drinker (mass quantities, year round).
*I like hot teas but only in cold weather (and occasionally late summer nights or mornings).
*I love Japanese greens (the more seaweed-y the better) and good strong malty black teas.
*I do NOT love smoke in any form.
*Vanilla, cinnamon, or lemon anything will usually pique my interest.
*I’m working on pu-erh but it’s definitely going to take some time to grow on me.
