Well-traveled, drinks more and more tea the older I get, not at all into "subtlety" or "nuance". I prefer strong teas that smack you in the face with their flavor and let you know, in no uncertain terms, exactly what they are. Because few teas are strong enough for me when brewed as directed, I steep 'em for 5-10 minutes. I also don't add any flavorings to my tea for review purposes, just the same sweetener blend. This makes comparison easy. Please use (or disuse) my reviews as you will, in that context.
