I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely love this tea. I’m working on sipping through a tin of it, and still have 4oz (maybe 6oz actually) sealed in my backup stash. I love the marzipan/almond flavor combined with the sweet candied fruits.

No, I love it too! Maybe not as much as you though. :D

I’ve only tried it once, but I definitely overleafed and oversteeped. How do you make yours? I still have a decent size bag left.

tea-sipper: I’m glad you like it!
Shae: I make it at 195-200degrees/3min.

@tea-sipper – We talked about this one when I first made it (it was so darn bitter). I don’t think I’ve tried it since then actually, but I’m definitely taking your advice and going easy next time.

I did 2 tsp at 5 minutes last time – yikes, lesson learned. I’ll go with your method next time + tea-sipper’s recommendation to keep it at a level teaspoon.

Shae

And thank you!

You’re very welcome! I hope your next cup turns out better.

Yes, I usually do 1 1/2 teaspoons but Mince Pie is perfect with ONE. I hope you like the next try better, Shae!
