Sipdown (90)! I had saved the last teaspoon or so of this tea to try as a hot tea, but I stupidly messed it up. I didn’t check the parameters beforehand, so I decided 200 F sounded good enough. The tea ended up being pretty bitter. Fortunately, I was drinking it while eating a really sweet pound cake, so they balanced each other out nicely. Otherwise, it may have been undrinkable to me because I’m so sensitive to bitterness. Anyway, I thought it was odd until I came on Steepster and realized that the recommended temp is 185 F. Oops! I actually think that underneath the bitterness, there was a really nice tea, so I’m bummed that I don’t have any more of this tea to experiment with. Ah well, lessons learned.
