This is definitely better with a two-minute steep – thanks for the tip, Kittenna!
I am getting a bit of blueberry this time, and the base – while still subpar, and still strong – is at least less overwhelming. While steeping, the tea smells SO strongly of blueberry – I feel like I have a slice of blueberry pie in front of me. Alas, the flavor doesn’t even approach the aroma in terms of blueberry-ness. And I’m still not getting any cream cheese or Danish (aside from that faint chemical aftertaste, which is still there if a bit weaker with the short steep). This cup is drinkable, which is more than I can say for my first attempt at this tea. However, I’m still not impressed. I am raising my score quite a bit, though.
