Last Saturday I acquired a new tea container, and I love it. It is excellent for those times when you need tea on the go or are (like myself) at work and without a small 2-3 cup teapot. For its inaugural brew on Sunday, I decided to try the
Asylum tea which had only recently arrived.
Notes about Basil's Brew:
A delicate, soothing, and invigorating blend of Chinese Silver Needle white and White Peony teas, American Peppermint leaves, and Chinese Wild Chrysanthemum flowers.I steeped the tea repeatedly as I finished each cup, and managed to get three good brewings out of that single batch. Impressive! A lot of teas are only really good for one steeping, and then they're just so much soggy yard waste. If you try some, be aware that it does have a small amount of caffeine, so if you have sleep issues you may wish to reserve this tea for morning indulgences.
