Ricky, did you steep this too long? Most people steep Darjeelings to around the 2-3 minute mark, from what I’ve read… and the package says 2-4 minutes. They’re a really delicate type of black.
Just want to make sure that your tea tastes awesome!
Nope cause I thought that it didn’t have enough flavor. Steeping longer should bring out the flavor. It wasn’t bitter or anything, it just lacked flavor. It was very delicate, a bit too delicate. It’s okay, it’s still a very good darjeeling compared to the other ones I’ve drank. Like the bagged ones I carry around, arghh.
Okay! Just wanted to make sure, hehe, because I’ve definitely oversteeped stuff sometimes. :(
Reading other people’s comments, they seem to think it’s a delicate Darjeeling too! I haven’t tried it yet, but we’ll see what happens!
I’ve been over steeping a lot of my tea lately. I keep getting distracted or caught up in my work. I thought you liked bold teas? It’s not as light as organic green, but it’s pretty light.

Step away from the free Sorapot! It’s mine! :D
You have the IngenuiTea =P, now you’re just being greedy =D. Let me have my snow globe!
@Ricky, while I love reverse french press- the ingenuiTEA is pretty much junk in comparison- at least in asthetics:)
The fact that ingenuiTea is plastic doesn’t help either =P
@Ricky AMEN! I ended up getting a teapot w/ the infuser in the cover cuz I couldn’t find a glass version.:(
Nuh-uh! I saw it first! ;)

Yeah, this one is incredibly light. I just found it a tad disappointing because it was as light as a white tea without the delicious sweetness associated with it.
HAH! It’s Pat!

I’ll take any you’d be willing to send me. I looked in your cupboard and they all look good to me:)
Email coming your way to see which ones you want.
If you still have this Peach tea, and want to pass it along I’d be more than happy to swap anything (although my teas are mostly tisanes and ceylon basted flavors right now).
Hmmm apparently I have close to a full tin left ;)

This was my first flavored tea and very little has compared. I love the Golden Moon selections.
Yay! Glad you’re getting the most out of the Golden Moon sampler, Ricky! This tea sounds awesome on so many levels. I LOVE the taste of pear!
GM’s sampler was a bad idea…. cause now I’ll want to buy a large tin of the ones I really liked. It’s interesting none of Adagio’s tea really pulled me in, but GM’s tea does. I guess there really is a difference in the quality of the leaves.
I finally waved goodbye to Adagio too! I have a few that I might continue to buy, but I think I’ve moved on.
Haha, yayy! But I have to use up my gift points! Ahhhhh! That means more spending!
This is one of the many Golden Moon teas I have been eyeing. Between this and the ones that Carolyn sent me, I think I’ve got a solid GM order queued up. Though, I’ll probably end up getting the sampler anyway because I’m pedantic.
@Takgoti: Yes, I’m planning to get GM’s sampler in the new year (I’ve spent enough money this year). It’s such a neat idea, letting you try out their selection without having to commit to buying huge quantities.
@Ricky: Hey if you don’t want your Adagio points I can always take them off of your hands! ;p
I wish more companies would do the sampler. I’ve been browsing around and I don’t believe any other store offers something like that. Do companies really expect us to randomly browse and purchase what catches our eyes? I mean some of these online tea stores don’t offer the best browsing experience.
Haha, can we transfer points :D, trade ya some for some tea samplers. I think I got over 100 points saved up. I’m just waiting for a free shipping promotion =D
