I had this tea again this morning. This time, I mixed a cup of the tea with a bit of 2% milk. I loved it! I think the milk seems to have taken some of the astringency away from it. I’m usually not a fan of milk in tea, but I am certain I’ll drink it again with this one.
The best part: the milk made it easier for me to handle the tea on an empty stomach. I apparently have developed a sensitive stomach over the years, so having a bold, black tea on an empty stomach usually causes me to feel ill. The milk today seems to have helped with that, so I could drink it when I first woke up and didn’t have to wait for breakfast. Score!
