To be honest, I didn’t care for this tea the first time I brewed it. Then I brewed it for a frighteningly long time, and it made a huge difference. I also like this as a milk tea. I do not think it makes a nice iced tea, though. I do not sweeten my teas as a general rule, though I have wondered if a little honey or cane syrup might improve it as an iced tea. Has anyone tried this?
This is You :-D

Bio
26 year old American currently on her 5th year in Japan. Hobbies include tea, tea ceremony, samisen, painting, drawing, blogging, reading.
My “dream job” would be owning a funky little tea shop that makes enough to pay the bills while working with what I love. Selling tea by the cup and pot, little baked treats to compliment the flavors, and maybe some art from local artists on the wall. Sigh…
I am not above a bag tea, though I prefer loose teas. I’ve lived in Japan for quite a while and travel around asia when I can. I of course love finding and buying local teas where ever I go! I love living somewhere that stop and shops sell tea bottles and boxes rather than colas. My favorite over the counter tea is Teh Botol, a Jasmine tea I found in Indonesia. I also like Sokenbicha (爽健美茶) in Japan.
I love all teas, but have a stronger love for the greens and blacks. I require caffeine and tend to sip tea all day. Tea=love!
