I like the flavour of this tea, but it doesn’t have intensity. No matter how much I use, it always seems thin and doesn’t develop a strong, distinct flavour. The leaves wash out after a single, longer steeping. With milk, it is overpowered. The tea appeared damp — moistened, maybe — when I bought it, hence I have docked 5 points.
Mr Steep often steeps tea until he remembers to drink it. He enjoys this laissez faire approach, but the Gongfu method has seduced him, despite the requisite mindfulness to tea-making.
Mr Steep mostly avoids flavoured teas: flavouring rarely makes something out of nothing.
Mr Steep likes tea plain, or variously with lemon, fruit juice, honey, spices, cow’s milk or soy milk, as appropriate.
Mr Steep applies this philosophy to good coffee, too.
