1473 Tasting Notes
Oh God….this tea…I don’t even…there are no words for the tastiness of this tea. I don’t like herbals. I use them for medicine and that’s about it. But this tea is amazing…I want to sit down with a giant pot of it and never move again. I’ve been getting sick and this tea is exactly what the doctor recommended.
Preparation
I’m bumping this one up a little, simply because of how beautifully it is resteeping for me. This is my third steep of these leaves and it is still soothing and yummy. The flavor is growing on me as well…this is a wonderful little tea that I very much underestimated. First steep, I only left it for 5 minutes. Second, 10. This time, I left it for 15 and for the next steep, I’ll likely just leave it in the water until it’s cool enough for me to drink (30+ minutes…I like my tea lukewarm)
The more I drink of this, the more impressed I am.
Preparation
I think this is going to have to be my tea for the day, my throat is starting to ache constantly. I have to be honest, it’s not my favourite tea, but I also don’t have a whole lot of use for herbals. The only time I ever drink them is to use them like medicine, ie the throat soother for my throat or sweet dreams for my insomnia or spearmint for my tummy.
That being said, I do enjoy this one when I drink it and it does help wonderfully for my sore throat. It just doesn’t leave me constantly reaching for my tea mug like the black teas and oolongs do.
I’m on my third steep with this tea and it’s still going strong! Well, not as strong, of course, but the flavour is still definitely there. And since I’m drinking out of a huge travel mug, I’m very impressed at the amount of yummy tea I’ve gotten out of his spoonful. I think three is the limit, I need to be switching to something decaf anyway, but I love this tea so very much.
