I used a bit more leaves than I usually do for black teas this time, and gave it 4 minutes, but it’s still not producing much flavor. Even with a normal amount of milk, it is overmollifying the tea. I may have to try this tea without milk. Still, it’s not bad, and there is some subtlety to it – slight notes of licorice and honey.
I work as a web coder guy. I eat primal/paleo; I love math, science, gaming, and of course tea. I’ve been drinking tea since I was 3! I started with looseleaf in 2004 and have had lots of fun trying all sorts of new things since then.
I mostly drink black tea, and that usually with milk and sugar. I also enjoy, in more or less descending order:
cooked puers
rooibos, lighter greens, oolongs
whites, raw puers
some other herbals
darker greens

Liked for use of the word “mollifying”
