This is a black tea from white2tea.
Brewing setup: 1.5g of tea in a mug with boiling water
Just having some black tea grandpa style today. This one is tasty and comforting. The tasting notes I’m getting are: milk chocolate sweetness, cream, slightly herbaceous. I’m on refill #3 right now and I think it can probably go for at least one more time.
I think it depends on the tea! With this one, it has absolutely zero bitterness or astringency that other black teas can get when oversteeped, so I just leave the leaves in the mug and keep topping up with more hot water when it gets low.
We have another black tea that my partner will do 1-2min on because it does start to get oversteeped for her. I’ll usually do 3min with that one because I like it a little stronger, but I can’t leave the leaves in indefinitely like with this jinjunmei.
