I had some great tea today! It was the darjeeling black this time, and it was wonderful. I think I made it a bit too strong, but the only "penalty" for doing this is that it isn't as cooling as weaker tea. Even so, it was cooling in a different way, and the liquor was darker, also a consequence of it being stronger. Sometimes I look at these teas and think that I always make it too strong, as compared to a lot of pictures/websites I see (even an occasional TV show) that have the teas much much lighter than what mine turns out to me. The variety I had was the Mighty Leaf Tea sample that they sent me a couple of weeks ago. I had two cups, and they were quite satisfying.
I wanted to use my amazon.com coupon I got from my sister for the mighty leaf, but the only way they sell it there is with the teabags, which I'm not a fan of, since the bags tend to 'inflate' and then stay on top of the water, not allowing for good steeping. I will still probably buy some tea directly from Mighty Leaf, though. I bought adagio tea instead, and I got their "IngenuiTea" teapot/kettle thingie, and I'll try it out later this week to see how it goes.
