Had two cups of this and they both turned out weaker than normal. I brewed them in my neeew Yixing pot and I’m sure the reason for the weak brew is because
a) I didn’t bother to season the pot beforehand
b) The infuser basket reaches halfway down and I only filled half the pot
c) [most likely] both of the above
Ah well. Lesson learned! Next time I’ll use my Finum basket and then decide if I want to season the pot :P
Flavors: Peach

Do you drink much of Adagio’s green tea? I have found that most of the green tea by Adagio I’ve tried… tastes too grassy for me and I don’t like it.
I love Adagio black teas and herbals, but their green and whites haven’t thrilled me. Not sure if because Adagio or if I just don’t like green and white tea.
I haven’t tried any of their green tea. This is green rooibos which I drink a lot of.
As far as the issue with the green and white, I’m gonna throw out a wild guess and say you may be over-steeping them or using water that is too hot. Blacks and herbals take boiling water, but with green and white you have to use the temperature on the label. I don’t drink green tea much, but I distinctly remember having one taste like straight up grass because I brewed it too long. Used a timer the second time around and it tasted much better.
OH derp I missed the Rooibos part haha.
I am using 180 degree water and I steep 2-3 minutes. I will try closer to 2 minutes next time and see if that helped.
I bet it will. Good luck :)
