Kristin drank Spicy Pear by Joy's Teaspoon

This is my second free sample from Joy’s teaspoon. This tea is very tasty. It is exactly what’d you expect based on its description.

I brewed it with 1.5 tsp per 12 oz for 3.5 min to ensure that the black base didn’t get bitter. It had no bitterness or astringency after 3.5 min.

I’d love to see this same tea on a white tea base.

I think I would order a tin if it was a white tea. :) But yeah, it’s pretty darn good.
