Another tea from the Loose Lea Tea House. How could I resist a French Earl Grey that looked like this?

3 min steeping, 1/2 tsp sugar.

There wasn’t nearly as much scent to the dry tea as I had expected, and – even sadder – not a whole lot when steeped either. It’s a nice enough tea but that’s not really a winning description, is it? Fair to say I was a bit disappointed.
