If one has any...
Cuppa #5. Rooibos Cinnamon Plum. Have not made up my mind whether I like it or not yet. UPDT: I don't like it. Cinnamon taste is overpowering (very pleasant smell though ![]() Last edited by astra; 10-18-2010 at 01:46 PM. |

heheh Did you make the blend yourself or is it one of your first loose leaf attempts?
It took me a while to figure out the right balance of temperature and timing for many of my teas. Having a tea timer helped a ton. OK, so all it is a kitchen timer preset for 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes so it is really easy to use. Because it is hard to push the minute button five times, really it is.... Finishing off my second pot of Sencha. So that makes 10 cups of tea today. I figure I get in a ton of steps going to and from the bathroom each day which only increases the health benefits of the tea. Anti-oxidants and exercise, what a great combination. |

Some people do blend their own tea. If you were doing that you would be able to tinker with the proportions and decrease the amount of cinnamon in the tea.
