Infusion 10. Still good. The sweetness is starting to disappear which I don’t mind at all- after 10 cups I WANT something different:)
865 Tasting Notes
Infusion 9 w/ dinner. Cranberry chicken, corn on the cob (not that bad, but I found it for only 10 cents a cob in almost Dec. in WI so I HAD to get it) and a salad.
This was my 1st hot “tea”. My cousin is a BIG tea drinker. She had a tea bridal shower and gave tea bags as wedding favors. Even though I don’t drink herbals alone, I keep a box of this incase I run out of loose leaf mints. I mixed this one w/ white cucumber.
In my coffee @ Bible study today. (2.25g/6oz coffee) The spice really holds up in the coffee!:)
Infusion 8, 2 min 40 sec.
Infusion 7 before church.
UGH! The tea is good, but memories of this make me shutter. This was when I drank tea only cuz it was supposed to help me lose weight. I didn’t like the taste so I added mint to every tea I drank. And I steeped all my tea for 5 min…. I want to smack my former self! So much better when steeped properly.
Infusion 6. 1 min 40 sec.
Infusions 2-5. 40 sec, 50 sec, 1 min, and 1 min 20 sec.
Decided to flash steep this one. Light liquor as you’d expect. Sweet aroma. VERY sweet taste, but not a “sweetener” or “fruit” sweet. Can definitely taste the green tea as well. SUCCESS.
Infusion 6 of my apple chai sencha. 1st noticably stronger liquor since infusion 3. Strongest so far. Aroma is light and slightly spicy and the taste is mostly (although still lightly) spicy, but the sweetness from the apple (that doesn’t taste like apple anymore) makes it not harsh.

Infusion 2 of my apple chai sencha blend. 40 sec.
The liquor reminds me of a white tea. Light and clear. The aroma is mostly of apple (a good thing as the steeping time increases) with just a touch of warmth from the spice. The taste is much like the 1st in proportion, but a bit stronger.

Decided to make my own green apple chai this morning. I blended 1.13g of apple sencha from Den’s tea w/ 1.13g bengal green chai. For some reason the sweetness of the apple came out more instead of the jolly rancher, although there was still a bit left. Maybe because I measured it by weight this time? The spice was stronger than I expected for only steeping it 30 sec., but still light. For a stronger flavor, use 2.25g apple sencha and 1.13g chai spice mix (sans tea). Steep 30 sec to 3min.
