The dried leaves were much easier to brew and did great with a boiling temperature and longer steeping time.
It was far easier to not get a bitter tea, with the dried leaves.
The flavor of the tea although less strong, still had quite a bit of the grassy and fresh flavors similar to the fresh leaves.
I will say I didn’t get much of that raspberry flavor in the dried leaves. I was looking for it and kinda missed the little hint of raspberries.
I am not sure if I could decide my favorite way to have the tea. I loved the ease of prepping the dried leaves and it was a nice subtle flavor compared to the strong, punch you in the face with tea flavor the fresh leaves gave. However, the after taste of raspberries in pairing to the green tea flavor is not something I will forget. Yum!
