I’ve never re-steeped this one before, so I tried that today. A little weak but not terrible, 1:30 the first time, 2:00 the second. It was okay, I guess I’d do it again? I wouldn’t try more than two steepings though. I think sugar helped (1 tsp turbinado).

Very grapefruity! Not sure what it’s doing to my skin but it’s keeping me hydrated? So that’s good.

Nice naturally sweet flavor. Candied pineapple with vegetal undertones. One of my favorite Harney teas!

The green and black is an interesting combination. I thought the black would overpower the green but that wasn’t the case. The floral fragrance is light and delicate. Wouldn’t recommend steeping over 180 degrees though.

This tea smells deceptively strong, but it’s a nice, light, delicate tea. The hibiscus isn’t overpowering and has a hint of jasmine. It gets bitter really easily and quickly, so I steep it at about 170-180 for 60-90 seconds. The label says to do it for like 4 minutes but if you go in the DAVIDsTEA store, they tell you only a minute. They’re totally right – any more than 1:30 and it’s ruined.

I’m still new to pu-erh, but I really like this one. Although to be honest it tastes more like strawberries than anything, not really getting that rich earthy flavor. But enjoyable nonetheless.

Great for Indian Iced Tea! Double strength, sweetened with turbinado sugar.

Steeped 3 times.

I originally bought this to make boba tea, extra sweet and with hemp milk and tapioca pearls. It was a great dessert tea, tasted like chocolate with the hemp milk added.

Extremely fragrant jasmine pearls, but I think I might have steeped it too hot. I added a teaspoon of turbinado sugar which mellowed it out a bit. Still delicious but I think I’ll do the water a little less hot.
