I got this tea thanks to LaFleurBleue, merci beaucoup :)
(by the way if anyone can help me by telling me how to manage to put some writing in bold here on Steepster I would be more than grateful – I really don’t see where to do this)
So merci beaucoup because it is really a very nice tea, very delicate, refined.
To me, basil is the main flavor but not overpowering, it’s just on the top of the other flavors : rose and peony. It’s like the cherry on the top of the cake, it sublimates the whole tea.
This is a mild tea, may be perfect for an evening.
This is my first Gryphon tea and I really appreciated it. However I liked the tea bag quality which is really high and all the information provided on the wrapping sachet (character, aroma,origin, tea pairing suggestions)
The flowers and basil seemed to be of highest quality.
Great tea.

I am not sure how others do it, but for me I simply put my words between asterisks and it shows up bold, such as bold
Sounds like an interesting tea!
ha! see it showed up bold just now! just simply add 2 asterisks in front and behind the word or sentence you want to make bold:)
Almost read that as Nympho of the Nile, then thought, Who’d want a tea that’s been around?
Luckily I gave it a second glance.
lol, Geoffrey!
Ysaurella, thanks for this review. I’ve never had a tea with basil in it. Sounds interesting, I’ve added this to my (very long) shopping list. Plus I really like its name!
In addition to placing an asterisk on either side of text to make it bold, you can put an underscore on either side to italicise it, or put a dash/hyphen on either side to strike it through.
If you look in the FAQ post at the discussion boards, there is a guide as well to the different sorts of formatting you can do. This is the link http://steepster.com/discuss/2768-steepster-faq, but you have to scroll down pretty far to get to the formatting section.
