Bought this tea at the Asian market because I remembered liking it before. Its not all bad but it is overly astringent is the main thing. I had to add milk, or actually unflavored coffee creamer to it. Otherwise it is basically a strong Sri Lankan breakfast tea. I think it is from Sri Lanka but do not remember. Its a little bitter too.

I brewed this once in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 2 min. I think it would be better with a 1 min steep.

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 2 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
