Just a quick note to say that this the best cup of this tea that I’ve had yet. It’s not bitter, though it is slightly astringent. The shorter steep really made a difference.

I’m adding a couple extra teabags to this cup to see if that will help with the flavor since there isn’t much there to begin with.

Oh wow, it’s really bitter now.

I guess that was a bad idea.

My husband tried this one and said that instead of triple berry green tea it tastes more like “1/2 Berry Green Tea”. I’m guessing that means the berry flavor isn’t very prominent. :)

We bought this in a little kitchen shop at an outlet mall near our house. They had some teas from The Republic of Tea but we grabbed this one since it’s a brand we’ve never tried. I guess maybe it wasn’t too popular because I can’t find any tea on the company’s website. They have coffee listed but it is being discontinued so I’m guessing that’s what happened with all their tea. It’s still well within its Best Before date though so it can’t be too old. At least, I hope it’s not.

The dry tea smells like blueberries and dried fruit, maybe figs. It’s definitely sweet and fruity. The liquid is a pale golden color. It still smells somewhat fruity, but I think my husband may be right – I can barely taste any fruit at all.
