Emerald Bamboo Forest from Teavana
78

I’m slowly running out of the tea that I really like so I figured I should try to go drink some of the many Teavana teas I have. There’s really something to be said about following the steeping parameters correctly, or even a little less.

Usually with this tea I have issues with it becoming too sour or bitter from the fruits. However, today I steeped it at a little below 170 degrees and exactly 2 minutes and the flavor is much better. The color came out a lo more pink/red than it usually does, but maybe thats because i put a little too many leaves for the amount of water I used for the first steep…. oops!

good choice of tea for the night. I wasn’t necessarily craving something sweet, but the fruityness of it is quite satisfying.
