Upping the rating. Third and forth steeping are much better. It’s so soothing and relaxing. I had a mug last night when I couldn’t sleep because I was so anxious and it calmed me right down.
I upped the the steeping time on the later infusion and the flavor really came out. It’s still very mellow but much more enjoyable.
I’m a long time tea addict since my british grandma started me on english breakfast tea as a toddler.
Since then I’ve branched out substantially. Right now I’m a big oolong fan. I love high mountain oolongs most but any high quality oolong is a treat.
Flavor wise I love vanilla and chocolate as well as stone fruits, whether they occur naturally or as flavorings. My tea stash is pretty much split 50/50 flavored and unflavored.
Oh and coconut! I’m constantly in search of the perfect coconut tea. If you have one or know one shoot me a message cause I’d love to know.
I love reading and knitting. They are my two other addictions besides tea. I think one can never really have too much tea, yarn, or books.
Bay Area.
