2nd steep! I’m putting this on its own tab just for housekeeping reasons. :)
This steep is actually better than the first. I used a lower temperature for the water. The flavor of the leaves themselves is standing out much more this time. It is very pleasant! I must admit that this is by far the best bagged tea I’ve ever tried. I love the fabric that they use for the bags and I like being able to inspect the leaf before steeping. Even though a four ounce tin of this would have been pretty cheap online ($6.75) I do prefer the tin that the teabags come in; call me vain! I think that for the price this one really hits it out of the park. I hope that I’ll be trying more from Harney & Sons in the future.
In my experience H&S does indeed have some pretty good teas. I definitely recommend trying more of them!
I haven’t had much of their bagged tea, but it’s good to hear this one is good.
Very odd that they tell you to steep it it boiling water though.
