So I still had a whole thing of water left over from the ETS tea (which I had no desire to re-steep), so I figured I’d go for this instead.
Mmm, yes that is much better. There is a gentle sweetness to this tea, along with strong umami flavors and other savory notes. Warm hay and sweetgrass present, and there’s just enough coconut there to give it some complexity. It’s just tropical enough that it is pleasant, but not overpowering. Very tasty. I don’t drink enough of these 52teas Green Teas, as I only have the Breville 1-Touch to use as a kettle, and I get downright paranoid about dropping it on the trek from my bedroom to my kitchen. (Yes, my Breville is in my bedroom. I don’t have enough counter space in my teeny apartment kitchen.) Pretty much anything you see me brew up on here of the Black or Herbal variety, the water comes from my Bunn. (It’s a hybrid device with an attachment for just making hot water.)
Anyways, this is tasty. Another hit from Anne. Great job, as usual.

I’m glad you enjoy it. I totally understand your paranoia about dropping your one touch – I also have one – I’ve had one for like 9 years now – but it’s not the original ‘one’. The first one I had was 4 years old when the glass jar broke – and unfortunately, they do not (or at least they did not, I haven’t checked in on them for a few years) sell the jar as a replacement, you have to buy an entire unit! Fortunately, they were kind to me and replaced my broken one with a refurbished one on the condition that I return to them my old base, which I happily did. Within two years later, I broke the replacement/refurbished jar (sigh!) and I called customer service again and they were generous enough to offer me a savings on the replacement unit, which I took them up on and now I have my third one touch – and I am so paranoid about it breaking! I mean, it’s the most used appliance in my kitchen second only to the refrigerator which is constantly running, but other than that, it’s utilized the most. I feel your pain!
Yeah. The paranoia runs hot with that. I sort of want to invest in a variable temperature kettle that I can possibly fit in my kitchen beside the Bunn. The One-Touch is too big with the base, but I think a smaller kettle would fit. Then it would be right in the kitchen, and I wouldn’t have to transport.
