I am being very careful with this particular special reserve tea from floating leaves as it is noted in the description that one will have better results with a lower temperature of this very special and delicate and feminine floral tea. As you can see from the pictures I might be taking that a little bit too far but I'm really experimenting with temperatures as low as 170 to 185f. I've noticed that I seem to almost 'burn' the delicate sense and taste away if I go above 185. All in all, I'm not 100% sure this tea has been totally worth the extra expense however there is one part of this tea that's just as exquisite as the very best OB's I've ever had, which is after I warmed the pot, poured the water out and poured the dry tea in and let it sit and steam for a few minutes then stick my nose into the pot and breathe deeply. Completely and utterly exquisite and, I must say, priceless.
