This is a good stuff. I repeat. This is a good stuff.

Consider this, it is a bag. Old school tea bag. Not a pyramid one, nor sachet. Typical boring, unbleached tea bag.

I wish I knew how long I was steeping it. But I guess it will be close to 4 minutes as I was helping my mother with connection of external screen to her laptop.

To the tea… as I said, probably long steeped. But the taste is great. A smooth, but brisk and fullbodied black tea base and nice bergamot flavour. The bergamot is strong, but not overpowering the base, and although it is natural bergamot flavouring it is a nice one and not stinging the tongue or anything else like that. I have experienced those in few previous bagged tea bags I have had. I will happily drink the other two I have received. Thank you Izzy!

Weather in my region. Over night about 5-10 cm of new snowfall, main road wet, but clear. Not sure if yay! Or ohh, I guess I need to take out my winter shoes.

Flavors: Bergamot, Tannic, Tea

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 10 OZ / 300 ML

I really love those unbleached tea bags from Clipper.

At least they try to be a bit more eco-friendly :)

I’m jealous of your new snow, Martin. We have been getting nothing but rain and gloomy weather since before Christmas. : (

I had those in the past as well, and indeed easy and nice to have. it´s snowing here as well (Madrid, Spain), and it should continue for a few days. Let´s hope it´s enough to make a snowman ;-)

Oh, enjoy the snow! Wrap your hands around a warm cuppa and just gaze at the view!

I had 35cm of snow on my terrace this morning, ashmanra. It only stopped snowing an hour ago, and the entire city is a mess. Good idea, which I put into practice a little while ago :-))

Ilse Wouters THAT is a heck of a lot of snow you got! Plenty for a snowman. I work from home (no commute) so even 3 feet of snow here would not bother me in the least and would absolutely delight me. It’s not going to happen, but I can dream…

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
