70

As part of the great iced tea experiment, I’m tryin this one iced.

The first go was a bit rough. I’m sure I steeped it too long before brewing. It was bitter (even for me) and astringent and very strong.

I steeped it again with the same leaves and lowered the amount of time as well. Much better this time around. I am unsure if it may be because it was a second steep, because it was a shorter time, or a combination of the two above.

I should try it again, but I actually think there’s a flavor profile in this that just doesn’t work very well iced. I may just move on to try another.

Due to Steepster instability, I have moved to my own system for logging/rating/tracking and I have chosen to move to a 10pt rating system. (As of 7/2023)

All new teas will be rated using this new system. Existing teas will not be modified unless I try them again.

Rating Details:
100 – Amazing
90 – Excellent
80 – Enjoyable
70 – If I’m in the right mood
60 – Nothing Special
50 – Interesting elements, but doesn’t work as a whole
40 – Disappointing
30 – Not for me
20 – Harsh/Bad
10 – Absolutely horrible

All reviews are purely subjective based upon my personal preferences alone.
