Every time I open up these packages, I forget that there is a tea bag within. They look fancy, but each bag I’ve taken out so far has ripped in some fashion. Makes me feel less bad about wasting them by cutting them open.
No dry aroma. Generally, I don’t expect much aroma from a tea bag, though.
The dry leaf is decent-looking. Very small rolled leaves. You can tell it’s a roasted oolong by how brown it is.
Flavor: Roast notes, a bit of charcoal and toast, but also plasticky? Plaster… Something unpleasant is sitting on my tongue.
The wet leaf aroma is musty, slightly wet charred wood, and a bit of deep forest berries.
Steepster seems to be getting worse. Is anyone else having major issues?
They say this is honey-scented, but I am blasted away with chocolate notes. Ghirardelli milk and dark chocolate. Chocolate shavings. Cacao. At the end, there are some savory honey notes. After smelling my 3 honeys (Manuka, wildflower, and raw beekeeper honey), I think it’s more like a chocolate-infused honey I had once.
The flavor is sweet. Lots of chocolate notes with a honey after note. The mouth feel is silky smooth.
I received these as a gift from one of the ladies who comes to the MN Tea Society meetings.
I found out why it said I wasn’t following two people I have followed for a long time! It is randomly signing me out as I navigate from page to page. My pic will be gone even though it says “You” instead of “Sign In”. When the pic is gone, it has logged me out and the only way to log back in is to exit entirely or just refresh the page or go back a few pages, sometimes more than once, to get it back on track.
Although page loads have been on the slow side for me, the constant log-out problem has gone away (knock on wood). I haven’t had to log-in for several days. I wonder if it’s related to my recent update of the Firefox browser on my tablet? I’ve been pretty attentive to keeping things updated, so I won’t put all the blame on the browser. Also, I have noticed when reading some reviews that I’m given a button to mark the user as spam, labeled “moderator tools”. I have never clicked it, and don’t believe I am actually a moderator, and it doesn’t appear for all users, just occasionally. Weirdness.
Page loads have been very slow for me lately!
I’ve been getting extremely slow page loads and Cloudflare server timeouts consistently for months now… and I honestly believe Adagio themselves are to blame for it, since the problem seemed to start up once they started using bots/scripts to insert links to their commercial tea site all over old forum posts to increase their SEO…
I haven’t been having many login issues, but pages have been very slow to load and sometimes I get gateway timeouts. I think it’s more of a problem during the day when people are using Steepster, but honestly, this isn’t such a large community that our access should be causing these issues. Mastress Alita might be right that bots are to blame. A similar thing has also been going on over at TeaForum.
Steepster was quite bad yesterday, even late, around 10pm last night, so I don’t think the problem is just during peak hours, but it seems like it’s working better today. LET ME READ ADVENTS. ha
