124 Tasting Notes
When I first steeped this tea following the instructions, I really hated it. It didn’t taste like much, really. It was like hot strawberry juice diluted with a LOT of water. Yikes.
I tried it iced, it was a bit better but the flavours were still too weak.
The best way to steep this, in my opinion, is not to use a filter. Pour boiling water over it and then let it seep even more overnight in the fridge. Most of the mix stays at the bottom of the jar, I just have to remove three or four pieces at the top with a spoon before I want to drink it.
Preparation
I would describe this as a boring green tea with a very subtle taste of lime.
I gave away the rest of my bag to a friend who might like it … but David’s Tea gave me a sample of it in my last shipping… So I think I will try it iced next time. And let it steep longer.
I don’t know if the lady at the shop used the wrong temperature or what, but this solely tasted like a strong black tea. I couldn’t decipher any trace of vanilla or citrus fruits or spices. I’m quite disappointed as this is one of Kusmi Tea’s most famous blend.
