Stuck on the end note  Review by  ['TexasTea']

While I love their green/black blends, this is not on my favorite list. I enjoy the aroma and initially I liked it. But as I near the end of the cup I needed to add honey or make it weaker to get past the end note. I'm not a fan of Jasmine tea but thought it would work in this blend but, it's just not for me.

The Best of the Best  Review by  ['Jeri']

Murchie's excels at green/black blends and this one is the very best. I'm only sorry that they no longer sell it in bags as I'm lazy and inclined to reach for a bag when I want a quick cup.

Best one of the bunch  Review by  Kay

This blend is excellent for that moment when you need a refreshing break or a take care of yourself moment. The blend is medium bodied with a few high notes in the initial sip but no after taste common with green teas. Friends request this tea when we have our tea talks...coffee clutches..

Standardized cupping technique and vessel for tasting tea General guidelines on steeping different kinds of tea

Steeping the Best (Guide)

Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.

Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.

Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea

While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.

  1. Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
  2. Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes

General Steeping Temperatures

The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.

Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.

If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
