In my experience, tea leaves should be open and able to let the water flow over them and around them as they steep. This is my first experience with this tea, but I read the claim that these little tiny tea balls are supposed to help it "stand up to milk". In my experience tea that looks like little chunks or balls is the leftovers after they have used the best of the tea leaves for higher quality teas and they use this for tea audiences that have no idea that this is the leftover bits. So now let's talk flavor. I let mine steep for over 8 minutes. I used more than I typically do in a cup of tea (loose leaf variety) and as one reviewer on Reddit said, I added cream because, "this type of tea stands up well to milk". It tasted watery with barely any flavor. If you like weak tea? This might work for you. Mine was a special "Christmas" tea. It smelled lovely, I only wish it had tasted as lovely as it smelled. Oh, and I gave it 2 stars because it was not at all bitter. In my experience a good tea won't go bitter even if oversteeped. All my life I had drunk "Lipton" with the occasional specialty tea in a teabag until traveling in Kazakhstan we discovered Lipton sold better tea there than the US and I started to learn more and expand my horizons. Quality tea is worth every penny.
