Grabbed a cup of this from Starbucks today. The tea smelled lovely while steeping, very fresh and vegetal. Of course the fact that Starbucks uses boiling water to brew every tea, even green, meant that this cup turned out more bitter and acidic than it was meant to, which was a shame, because it really is a good quality tea and shouldn’t be abused.

This is a very nice, light tea…we need to provide PSAs to cafes not to use boiling water for green teas, none of them seem to know.

Yeah, I know they’re not well set up for it — they get the hot water straight out of the machine — but a PSA would be nice.

Mike

Yeah…we need more tea places…definitely a dream to leave the daily office grind and start one myself one day. :)

Tamarindel

That would be cool :)

rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
