Like four bucks and more per portion (which you can brew 6-12 times in that sitting, though). It’s addictive and sets your standards so high, I can’t drink cheap tea anymore

minus-squarehinterlufer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 month agoHigh quality tea can be brewed multiple times, you’d typically use a higher tea to water ratio than for a single steep though. Green, pu erh and especially oolong teas also often change their flavor profile and taste in subsequent steeps, bringing out more nuanced flavors.
