Squeezing in a cup of this – another bagged tea I picked up on a recent trip – between multiple infusions of the Hawaii-grown black. The steeping instructions indicate 8 minutes, which sounds unusually long, so I’m going to stop at 7 minutes and see where we are.

This is actually pretty nice – it is lemony, but not in the furniture polish direction. There’s a sweetness to it as well, but I can’t tell where that is from. Other than that, it’s not very complex. Pleasant enough for a fruit-based tisane, and refreshing without being parchingly acidic.

Grandma introduced me to tea as a kid (lipton with milk and sugar; a bit poured into the saucer to cool it down and then sipped from there), and I’ve never looked back. Still have a slight preference for teas that go well with milk (or even better, cream) and sugar, but since Grandma’s day I’ve branched out to appreciate green and white teas, rooibos and pu erh. Absolutely love Mariage Freres!
