Meghann M drank Strawberry Zabaglione by 52teas

Think I may have steeped this too long today. It’s tasting more of black tea and zabaglione and not the bright tart strawberries from the first few cups. That, or I need to shake up the bag and get more berry parts in the brew. Still a good cuppa, just different.

I have had the best luck with 208 degrees and 2:30 steep time. It took some time playing with it.

Hmm- last nite I did the full 5 minutes and 212F in the Breville and no troubles.

I did it with a 2:30 steep at boiling, maybe a longer steep is necessary, although I usually do 3 minutes with Franks blacks.

I’m excited to be getting Harney’s Paris soon, so I can do a taste testing between this, Paris and Marco Polo and decide which strawberry tea needs to be in my cupboard at all time. If I can’t decide I will just have to alternate.

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.
