aisling of tea drank Throat Soother by DAVIDsTEA

I’m bumping this one up a little, simply because of how beautifully it is resteeping for me. This is my third steep of these leaves and it is still soothing and yummy. The flavor is growing on me as well…this is a wonderful little tea that I very much underestimated. First steep, I only left it for 5 minutes. Second, 10. This time, I left it for 15 and for the next steep, I’ll likely just leave it in the water until it’s cool enough for me to drink (30+ minutes…I like my tea lukewarm)

The more I drink of this, the more impressed I am.

My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they’re too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I’m slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!

So…yeah. That’s me and my tea!
