Re: The least processed tea is ...?

How do you think it would have tasted
if you hadn't seared the leaves?

Probably about the same. I didn't sear them very well, or for very long, or
on high enough heat. I'd only read about people doing it so I didn't really
know what the hell I was doing.

Great tasting brew though! So sweet. Unlike anything I've ever bought. I
can understand why people started making tea all those thousands of years
ago..

And I chopped them up because each leaf was about 1.5" by 3"..
