Popular Tasting Notes
So I was wondering what it would take to steep this tea to the point that it would be to astringent. Well, I got pulled into a meeting and forgot about my little pot steeping for a couple of hours, lol. That finally did, but surprisingly it wasn’t unbearably astringent. Just added a little extra water and ended up with more flavorful pu’erh with a little dryer finish I like. Of course, I am in now way advocating steeping your pu’erh tea for hours. :D
Preparation
I got this from a friend in Norway from a Tea Swap. It’s smells awesome before, during, and after the steep! Almost like an Apple Cider! If you oversteep it it taste more like a bitter green tea with flavoring…but if you steep it just right the Apple Cider-ness is perfect with the Green Tea! Creative, Fun blend! Thumbs Up!
Wow. You can really smell the coconut right off from the moment you open the packet. The coconut actually gives a rather creamy flavour that goes well with the spices making it chai. As it cools, the toasted quality comes out more.
I was somewhat surprised that the directions didn’t mention milk and sugar, as this is specifically entitled as a latte, but decided to make it and try it without anyway. I don’t regret it, but I do wonder what it would be like when doctored up as I normally would with chai, or made with hot milk rather than the water that the packet directs, as well.
