1 big bag for 500mL water (medium take-out cup from Starbucks), no milk or sweetener.
Ai yi yi. Be careful if you get Joy to go. Traffic and other delays meant mine steeped wayyyy too long. The oolong is lost. Astringent and spicy Darjeelings, intoxicated with new power, have bullied this cup. Some stronger black tea is grunting in the background. Something else— oolong?— tastes scalded. I love a good strong tea, but Tazo’s Joy is delicate and complex. Steep carefully!

Last few sips remind me of, um, rocks. Clean rocks. Iron ore, maybe. I don’t go around licking rocks, so I really don’t know why I’m thinking this … hard to explain. Is there an official term for this taste?
Mineral taste is a valid description!
‘Mineral.’ Okay, I can go with that. Once again, Steepster proves I am not crazy. ;)
But I really like “licking a rock” better. Much more vivid.
Meh — it’s a hobby. :)
