I followed the instructions to a T for this one. With my new variable temp tea kettle and handy timer. My water was 175 on the dot and I steeped for 2 minutes. I anticipated drinking it iced (so I used 6 tsp for 16oz), but the smell was so subtle that I tried it hot. Generally, I’m not a fan of hot tea but this was pleasant, even without added sweetener. It smells and tastes a little like honeysuckle and a very subtle pear. It also has a lemony note but it’s far from overwhelming.

Pretty nice, and I’ll continue to use up the 2oz bag I purchased. I might even drink it hot.

I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.

Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:

Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener

Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
