new tea day. grape expectations
Alright it's time to try another tea from the Spring Collection at Davids Tea!
Today it's Grape Expectations.
This one is a green tea. Usually I'm not the biggest fan of green teas as they're harder to make. If your water temperature is too hot, you'll burn the leaves and cause the tea to be more bitter or fishy (depending on if it's a japanese or chinese green). I'm really looking forward to trying this one though as it smells so similar to grape juice.
This green's ingredients are:
The steep time is between 3-4 minutes. This is one tea that I will make sure is steeped the recommended amount of time. Green teas have a tendency to get more bitter the longer they're steeped.
While it's steeping I couldn't wait to try it cause it smells soooooo good! Even after it's steeped it still smells like grape juice. It wasn't bitter at all and I found it very refreshing. I think it would be amazing iced. I'm just imaging putting it in a fancy glass and having it like an iced wine. I don't think I've ever tried a green tea iced but this is one I'd make an exception for. Looks like I need to add another tea to the list of tins I need to buy!
