Gillyflower

Gillyflower drank On the Waterfront by The Tea Table

On a second try: I let this steep for 7.5 minutes, since the label says to steep for 5-10 min. I actually think this was a mistake because now I can’t taste anything but peppermint. Don’t get me wrong, I love peppermint, but if I want peppermint tea that’s what I’ll drink. This has lots of other ingredients and none of them are in evidence after this long a steep. There is probably one more large cup in the sample, and I will steep that one for less time to see if I can re-experience some of the other ingredients in the cup.

Thanks for the note about steeping. I found a similar tea combination which says to steep it for 10 – 15 minutes which seems way too long to me, so I think I’ll go with a much shorter time per your experience.
