Another Tuesday another tea from the sampler. This time Organic Citron Crisp Green Tea. Green tea is more delicate than black tea. According to the temperature chart on the sampler box, green tea is at it's best with the water temperature between 160 and 175 degrees F. and the tea steeped for 1 to 3 minutes. I prefer a strong cup of tea so steeped for the full 3 minutes.
The tea bag and the wrapper had a pleasantly strong citrus scent. The tea itself didn't have a scent to it and had an earthy taste. Adding a bit of honey didn't change the earthiness.
The tea wasn't horrible, but I'm not about to give up my usual English Breakfast or Earl Grey teas.
What about you, are you a fan of green tea or no?

Usually I dislike green tea, as it mostly tastes like an infusion of hay to me. *LOL*. I found tea bags with green tea and lemon at ALDi and I really like them, but my favorite stays Earl Grey. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteMaybe hay was the earthy flavor I picked up on 😺
