aisling of tea drank Jungle Ju Ju by DAVIDsTEA

I accidentally steeped this cup forever. It turned out delicious, though! Very, very juicy.

I need to get me some of this! what is the steep temp? I’m thinking about using it here at the office where the water is terrible… but I need my tea!

I love steeping this one forever! I drink it at work a lot because it’s definitely not finicky about temperature or time. I usually boil the kettle, pour the water into my travel press at whatever temperature it’s cooled to before I get to it, and leave the tea in the bottom of the press for as long as it takes me to finish it between calls.

Mmmmmm I think I will do it then! we have no kettle, just a hot water tap out of the coffee maker. The water is really heavy and earthy.

you should see about buying a small kettle to bring with you to the office Indigobloom.

I know, it’s a good idea… I’m only here 2 days per week and have no place to keep it safe.

I love Jungle Ju Ju too! So delicious and a fantastic morning pick-me-up.

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!
