A sipdown! (M: 3 Y: 35) prompt: A breakfast tea as it has been reminding breakfast blends when tried for first time.

Gongfu, 4 g / 125 ml, rapid steeps (5, 10, 15…)

Eh, nope. Something in this tea isn’t working well with me. It tastes so basic, so flat, so “black tea”. Tannic and metallic. The first steep (5 seconds only!) was somehow fruity as they promised. Harsh on the tongue. Long astringent aftertaste. Breakfast tea like. I believe that there are better teas from Ceylon out there.

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 15 sec 4 tsp 4 OZ / 125 ML

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Black teas are preferred, but I am drinking almost anything.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Working in logistics.

Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you.
