Take 2 on this tea – this time around I steeped with more leaf.
This is much better now. I guess it really needs more than I usually use – and typically, I use a little extra when I steep anyway… so this one needs about double the ordinary 1 tsp. of tea per teacup… I actually used 1 tbsp.
As it sits here still rather hot, I’m finding the black tea to be the strongest flavor in the cup, and the strawberry comes along followed by a hint of chocolate. I am going to allow it to cool slightly, and see how it changes a bit before I give it a numeric rating though.
OK… Now that it has had time to cool to a sip-able temperature, I will say that the flavors have developed nicely. I can’t say that it is my favorite chocolate tea, or that it is my favorite strawberry tea, but, it is a very good combination of the two.
