I won these teas in a contest that was run by Dan on Steepster that was great fun, and got me tea prizes! Dan will be running the contest monthly, so keep an eye out!
I find the labels on the tea samples to be perfect, they include the company name, tea name, tea type, and steeping directions. I have been informed that the samples that you buy on the web site, or any teas purchased on the site, will come in food safe, plastic lined, kraft bags which keep light out and keep the tea fresh for about 4-5 months. Tea is best stored in tins which are not clear and air tight, since light activates the steeping process and moisture as well. The sample bags I received were about 2-3 cups each, where purchased samples are larger.
Post-Steep Additives: honey, gave it a honey after taste and didn't really affect the taste
A notch below spring cherry from the republic of tea but better than soem of the other cherry greens I have tried.
Rating: 3/4 leaves
Leaf system:
1=Bleh! not again if it were free
