...Hello tea gurus! Happy Friday!
I'm trying the Earl Grey Bravo this morning (it's 10am here). I followed the directions perfectly (boiling water, 1 tsp. in my IngenuiTea and 5 minute steeping time). It's very very bitter for me.
What should I adjust first? The amount or the time? Does anyone have the perfect combo? Other than that, I love this tea and the bergamot is outstanding. It's just that bitter bite!
Thanks!
Lavender,
I am beginning to agree with you. I'm new to this gourmet tea thing and learning still. I'm going to try it again right now with the boiling water, 1 even tsp. (maybe a little less) and 3 minutes steep. We'll see how that works.
I had the Irish breakfast yesterday and steeped for 5 and it's on my list to buy in bulk when the sample runs out. Loved it straight!
Thanks.

You get out of it what you put into it.
Marz,
The only Rooibos I've tried is the Jasmine and I was quite happy with it. I might give the Earl Grey Rooibos a shot. I just find that I don't like the bergamot much. I'm also not very fond of the Keemun which I found in the English Breakfast today. I'm still learning.
I do, however, love that Irish Breakfast and the Yunnan Jig. I'm moving on to Darjeeling next.
This sampling is fun!
