The first yellow tea I’ve tried and I loved it. When I was in the store, the manager and barista were testing an interesting theory: The 1st steep and the 7th steep are the best; everything else tastes horrible.
I decided to partake in this research. I tried the 1st steep (gorgeous!), the 5th steep (bitter and not something I enjoyed at all), and the 7th steep… perhaps even better than the first! Not sure why someone would continue to resteep a tea that didn’t resteep well, but the 7th steep really was excellent.
As far as the tea goes, I’m glad I bought some.
