I’ve always thought this tasted not-quite-like-it-should. Maybe I’ll use more teabags as well next time I make it.
FYI…most tea bags (including republic) uses about 1.5g of tea and directions indicate 6oz….to get any flavor…the usual professional cupping standard is about 3-4g for 6-8oz (western) and 5-6g (4-6oz with rapid, short steep times – eastern)…so it makes sense you have to use 4.5g for a 12oz mug
I am obsessed with tea!
I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:

I no longer write for the SororiTea Sisters but I am still the admin for the blog.

The reason I’m no longer writing for SororiTea Sisters is because I am now the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas:
I’ll still be posting occasional reviews on teas here on Steepster, mostly backlogged reviews because I’m way behind on getting reviews posted. That’s why I’m keeping two accounts active at the current time – so that I can get those backlogged reviews posted.

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.
I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination, which is why I was very excited to be the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas!
