I could not find this on the website. I have contacted Simple Loose Leaf to see if this is still available. So no picture and no product detail. Actually no real review yet. This is more about being consistent. I normally use a 10-12 oz mug. I had the bright idea this morning I would use a 5-6 oz cup instead. That would be fine had I adjusted the amount of leaf and/or the steeping time. So one scoop of leaf equivalent to about 2 tsp and a 3 minute steep is way too much for this little cup. So its dark, strong, and bitter. I can tell it had some nice smoky/chocolate notes but they are overcome. A packet of Splenda in such a tiny cup is just as bad of an idea. Sure it softens the bitterness but now it tastes like bottled tea. Who needs it that sweet? Time to reboot my day. I owe this tea a better review. I mean its Yunnan tea!

I know this feel. Sometimes things just don’t go right and it’s no fault of the tea. Next time, it will be beautiful!
Well that was really fast! Simple Loose Leaf got back to me almost instantly. So I have updated the product info and included a pic.
Sami Kelsh, I am just happy to know we have enough experience to understand when its our fault.

Splenda is tricky, a little bit goes a long way
i love any Yunnan black. i stick to gongfu treatment. Long steeps for me are exactly what you described above
