Their teas second to none in quality and variety. And we all know how much I love variety. Dan is new to tea, so I decided to give him the choice of what to brew after dinner. He choose Black and Blue Monk. My favorite tea. My favorite tea from Discover Teas! I love the sweet berries and appealing aftertaste. Black and Blue Monk is made with three different berries and a hint of vanilla. It’s great for someone who loves sweet teas and berry flavors. It steeps at 200 degrees for around 5 minutes. I’ve also tried this blend with different teas mixed in. My favorite was when I tried it with mint. The combination was delightful! Steeping the tea to perfection Sipping on this warm brew, it got me thinking; I should throw a tea party sometime! There’s so much history and culture around tea. I learn new things about it all the time. The great thing is that there’s always more to learn and explore within this realm.
