I’ve been sick the past couple of days - like cold sick - losing my voice and all that so tea has been the best
thing. Well, that and Ricola cough drops. I’ve been drinking Mighty Leaf Vanilla Bean tea a lot, its a black tea with a very subtle vanilla flavor.
Unlike conventional out of the bag teas, Mighty Leaf uses real tea leaves instead of the tea dust (the detritus left after tea leaves are sifted and graded) and silken tea pouches instead of paper to allow for the leaves to properly brew. While tea dust in paper allows you to drink your tea faster, long leaf teas taste a lot better. I often find paper tea bags with tea dust to have a tannic flavor and a rusty color. While you can brew your paper tea bags in one minute or less, with long leaf teas like Mighty Leaf, they are best if you let them brew for about 4-5 minutes before drinking. I’m not sure why we have to rush all the time anyway - let it sit for 5 minutes and enjoy it without burning your tongue!
