I really didn’t get any of the flavors listed strongly in the scent or the flavor. I think perhaps a longer steep or more leaves are in order.
As it is I find it a smooth black tea, nothing special.

Can’t wait to try this.
i can’t wait to see if you figure out the magic numbers, apparently 1tsp/8oz @ 4 min isn’t it (although it is a nice smooth tea) i want figs!
