Elderberry Green Tea from 52teas
90

I’ve found myself craving this tea. This is the first green tea I’ve ever craved. I actually opted for a mug of this over a mug of my usual strong black tea in the morning.

I have played around with the steeping parameters, and found I like it best around 170F for 2:30. I haven’t gotten the purplish green cloud of color I had the first time around, but I think my water was hotter than I intended that day. I’m happy to have a whole bag of this tea to enjoy.

Bio

Live in the cornfields of IL, but not too far from the city. Expecting a baby any day now (due Oct 24 2011). Sticking to mainly herbal and low caffeine teas for now. Trying to encourage my husbands tea drinking, but he adds so much sweetner he may as well just drink diet pop. I love trying new teas, and will try any tea once.
