I let this go to 5 minutes today (how I usually steep most black teas) to see what would happen – NOW I’m getting the flowers! When I want to weep with nostalgia, I’ll steep to 4 minutes, and when I want strawberries and roses, I’ll steep to 5 minutes. WOW.

I have Marco Polo on order based on your prior post (should be here this week, if the snow does not delay it.) Good to know about the 5 minute steep time—I’m usually leery of going over 4 min. with a black tea, because I’m still so new to tea, but I will be more courageous in future! :)
