> 7. Comments
Relative freshness, and proper water heat and steeping are almost more
important to me than the particular type of tea. I keep fewer teas on
hand than I once did, to move through them faster and keep a fresher
assortment. I am interested in trying more organic teas, but have not
ruled out the sprayed norm.
