Amount: 1.5 tsp
Additives: 1 tsp German rock sugar, 2 sprinkles powered cinnamon, 10 raisins
Water: 6 ounces filtered boiling water
Tool: Mesh basket strainer in cup
Steep Time: a little over 4 minutes
Served: Hot

Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: Raisin bran cereal, sweet raisins
Steeped Tea Smell: cinnamon, raisin, smoke
Flavor: raisin, cinnamon, a little too sweet, bake-y/cardboard astringent (is this the toast?)
Body: Medium
Aftertaste: astringent, bitter very briefly
Liquor: dark reddish-brown

Well I, and Bobbie and MilitiaJim like this steep. I don’t like that I had to doctor it so much to get what I wanted.

Post-Steep Additives: none

Resteep: weak, watery, even after leaving it in after the 5 min were up, cinnamon and raisin came through but nothing else, dumped it

You added extra cinnamon and raisins but no butter? Now that is a review I’d love to read=D

i was thinking about adding butter, but then i figured it would be a weird oily film on top, i almost added some coconut pouchong because it is so buttery, but i love it so much i didn’t want to use it if the tweak turned out awful

Profile

Bio

I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle. I plan to use this blog to keep track of the teas I have tried.

I get my daily dose of caffeine from Starbucks (Grande soy no water chai latte).

75-100=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
