"My first attempt at this flavor yielded little taste. I steeped about 1 tsp for 5 minutes at somewhere less that the directed temperature of 212 degrees. I always add a single sugar substitute package to my teas, but on this one, it ended up just tasting like slightly sweet water, with only the barest hint of sweet potato. As the tea cooled, however, more of the flavor started to come out.
The second time around I made sure my water was at least 200 degrees, and measured my loose tea exactly. I only added one sugar substitute, and the flavor was amazing, right from the start. Tasted just like a sweet potato, without a super amount of sweetness. Next time I'd like to try adding a little milk or cream like other people have suggested."
