[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 559754, member: 1365"] My journey through the Thompson Family blends continues. Instead of my typical 3 minute steep I extended the duration to 4 minutes. Yes...it made a substantive difference. The flavor (which is good at 3 min.) is more pronounced...more “intense” at 4 minutes. DUH. Since I rarely use milk, sugar, etc. the intensity of flavor vs astringency is important. I also want to maximize antioxidant levels so a longer brew is desirable. But overly brewed tea can end up far too brisk when the milk and sweetener buffer isn’t added. Big day here yesterday...Cinco de Mayo...daughter got her second Moderna vaccination (whole family is 100% now)...got TAX data and paperwork sorted, done & submitted. [ATTACH]1224[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
