This is a pretty decent tea. I don’t have the proper kettle to make it the Turkish way, and I’m guessing that it would probably be better made that way. I was able to get two good steeps out of it, 3 minutes the first time, and 5 minutes the second time. It’s strong, but not as strong as I expected beforehand…I would have liked stronger first thing this morning. It’s nice and smooth, but kind of lacks flavor in my opinion…kind of plain…not bad, just not exceptional. I have a lot of it because it’s remarkably cheap, so I’ll definitely try it a few more times to see if it ends up growing on me. Overall, a good tea…one I wouldn’t mind drinking every once in a while, but not an everyday tea.

I’m a tea novice, and I’m loving my introduction to the World of Tea. I started getting into tea about 4 years ago when I lived in Brooklyn, NY. At first, I stayed with green teas, and took black teas completely for granted. However, in the last couple years I have enthusiastically added them to my daily routine. I love strong Assam black teas in the morning, and Japanese green teas in the afternoon, especially matcha and gyokuro. I have recently become a big fan of Keemuns. I’m looking forward to learning about new teas on this site and talking to other tea lovers!

As far as ratings go, don’t trust me. I’m a high rater, and I’m easily impressed. If I rate a tea lower than 70 (which is going to happen rarely, it seems), I probably will not drink that tea again. I will splurge for some teas at times, but I love a bargain, so you will often see me celebrating under-appreciated everyday teas.
