Steeped to three minutes and drank without milk. I enjoyed this tea as a refreshing thirst quencher. That said, if you are looking for subtly, forget it. This is a bold tasting tea with an almost overpowering Jasmin taste. If I didn’t know this to be an unadulterated tea, I’d suspect it to have added flavours. What I did like about it was it’s scent and the way from very first sip, it took me back in time to the flowery days of the ’60’s when I drank tea like this from trendy little cups to the sound of Sitar music. Ahh happy days…
