A beloved niece gifted me with a beautiful large tin which looked like a large book. The Secret Garden Organic Teas, of which there were 8 different kinds of teas, 10 teabags each.
This is the second (of six types) of green tea.
I’m not really familiar with Acai Berry as a flavor. I’d already mixed 2 bags of this with another berry tea. This time I’m using all 8 remaining bags of this blend in one 57 oz pot.
I let it steep for about 8 minutes. From the other of this set I’ve tried, I learned the bags only contain 1.5 oz of tea each, and there’s no bits of fruit in it, just natural flavor.
By having used 8 teabags in the pot of 57 oz, that comes out to a little over 7 oz per teabag, which is not too different from the “1 bag for a 6 oz cup” that Republic of Tea recommends on tins for their smaller weight teabags.
This is not a bad tea; the flavor is nice, still not too strong, but in this case, with eight bags together in a pot, the combined steepage renders a halfway decent cuppa. Still seems to me whoever buys this is truly buying the distinctive packaging, more than the tea experience.

Seems to me there’s a thin line between true discernment and pretentious twaddle. I’ll write what teas work for me, why I like them or not. I’m not the connoisseur some folks here are, but I think you will get a fair assessment of whatever tea I write about.
