I bought Jamaïque 1 month ago when the weather was so hot : 37°c and the Mariage Salesman told me he was wondering HOW I can pick up and choice this tea (flavoured Vanilla and rum) by such a weather :)
I haven’t had it since today and I didn’t have paid attention to the tea description and left it steep for 2 minutes >>>>O_O<<<< ohohohohohoho lucky me ! it is almost bitter ! this is surely an Assam…the kind of used with Wedding Impérial…the capricious to brew !!!
Cooling the little bitterness disappeared and I have a pleasant cup, robust with a creamy and delightful vanilla and of course, in a supportive role only RUM.
That’s delicious, I’m waiting forward to try tomorrow with 1 minute and a half brewing time , I’m sure it would be absolutely perfect.
I’m so happy MF used such an high personnalitea base for its Jamaïque.
I hope now the rum contained here would just kill the unglorious mosquitos who are driving me mad since 2 weeks now ! My legs, my arms are just a battlefield and I’m losing this war.
We often say in French : ce n’est pas la petite bête qui va manger la grosse (it’s not the small beast who is going to eat the big one- meaning it’s more scared of you than you are of it) in my case the small ones are really eating me, help me rum !!!

Poor you, I so hate mosquitoes.
(stupid advice, but keep all windows shut at night and ever ever light a light in a room or house where windows are open at night. Mosquitoes attack all lights using half the speed of light. But I guess everybody knows that)
Have you ever tried tea tree oil? or citronella oil? Not so nice smelling, but they work a bit.
Alaudacorax :as French I love garlic but surely bizarre in a tea :)
Teresa I love to sleep with windows wide opened to refresh the flat so…it’s my punishment, I need to buy citronella oil, I had this when I was a child
Mosquitoes? Perhaps you need a tea with plenty of garlic in the mix!

I got to copy these brewing instructions, with a timer! I suspect I am killing this.
I’m going to try a shorter brewing time, too!
