This tea takes well to a second infusion. You will need to full boil and steep for a long time but I was able to pull out some woody sweetness.
It’s a delicate tea especially after the cinders of Lapsang Shouchong burn through the first cup brewed.

Still experimenting with oversteeping as I like this tea too strong, as if I mixed only a touch of fresh water with some заварка (zavarka,) I’ll report back when I have the proper infuser tools to make it strong enough.

This is a straightforward chamomile tea. Difficult taste to describe but if you have brewed it in the past you are likely already familiar with this flowery, herbacious and slightly sweet infusion.

The Taylor’s reminds me of my mother, who religiously bought Celestial Seasonings teas for me in my youth. This was perfect for teatime in the late evening as it is more of a health benefit with no caffeine. I would have no qualms sharing a cup of this tea with her so as far as I am concerned it passes the test to be enjoyed. Chamomile is not my favorite, but for the nostalgia if nothing else, I must say it is fine.

Bright, light and sweet. There is a lot of passion fruit on the nose, especially dry. When brewed it moves to the background and the peach comes out to play.

I found this brew invigorating, there’s a hint of mint on the tail end and finish that lingers in a great way. This offers a great afternoon infusion and a decent pick me up with some caffeine.

This isn’t a straight fruit tea, but more of an herbal tea with fruit notes and the tannic black tea flavors. Really pleasant overall and seems like it would be a great candidate for icing during this hot Florida summer.

I’m going to try it again.

Straightforward lemon green tea. As if you added some squeezed lemon to a cheap green tea.

Nothing special but nothing horrible about it either.
