So, with most black teas, I steep them at approximately 3 minutes, unless specified it requires more or less time. For some reason, I decided to steep an extra minute, I think I was probably curious to see how it would taste. Unfortunately, it isn’t good.
The almond flavor is now overpowered by the black tea, there is no harmony in this oversteeped cup, which makes me a sad panda.
So, moral of this note: do not oversteep this tea. 3 minutes seems more than enough.
