So I managed to brew it correctly for my palate !
2 minutes only are really enough.
I can now appreciate both malt and caramel and behind a little chocolate hint
I amended my rating.
First time in my life I have to steep a blend such a little time !
This tea can really bear several steeps without any problem, so quite economical finally :)
First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.
I was mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m now drinking much straight teas because my palate is now developed enough to appreciate them .
My favourite brands are : Taiwan tea Crafts, Teavivre, Mariage Frères,Theodor,Butiki Teas,Dammann Frères, Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :
100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard (or very often ! )
94 to 90 : Excellent tea
89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it
79 to 70: not bad even quite nice, why not having it sometimes, but well,it’s not so urgent !
69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities
49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it
Under 30 : is this thing supposed to be tea ?!?!?
