I tried this one again… I brewed it at a higher temp and let it steep a lot longer.

Still couldn’t coax much flavor from it, but it was a titch bit better than last time, I guess. I got a lot of chamomile with just a hint of a nondescript fruitlike note. It’s so strange, because it smells amazing dry.

Oh well. I guess you can’t judge a tea by its bag.
