[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 558939, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]This morning I was frankly stunned when I opened the package of Miles West Country Original Blend. My local shop, [URL='https://www.teasource.com/']Tea Source[/URL] would describe the contents as homogenized leavings. I have never purchased loose leaf tea that is so finely ground, what you might find inside a tea bag. It's clearly a blend of many teas. I followed the directions on the box, one teaspoon per cup and quickly realized that this is probably for a 5 oz. cup at maximum. I dumped it and started over. For my 14 oz. travel cup, it took 3 heaping teaspoons. I rarely ever add milk, sugar, lemon, or honey. This required a heavy dose of raw organic honey. Pre-pandemic, I'd always go to [URL='https://www.teasource.com/']Tea Source[/URL] and have a cup before buying 4 oz. to take home. The shop is a 30 minute walk from my house. Later, I'll open the one pound tin of Ahmad Earl Grey I bought via Amazon and hope for a better outcome. This was a reminder of the number of times I'd buy a box of cigars on line before smoking at least one at a local B & M. We all have our individual taste preferences and it's best to dip one's toes in the water before jumping in the pond. An after thought: I have several fine screen filters that came with Bodum pour through coffee carafes. I put three together, somewhat staggered, to properly pour the brewed tea into my cup without getting tea grinds into the cup.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
