Backlog note 13 of 13 – I’m finally caught up!
Heartened by my success with Teasenz’ Lychee Black tea last night, I gave this tea a second chance as well. And, like last night, I watched clock carefully and used a shorter steep time than I did the first time around.
I’m happy to say that the bitter chemical taste I noticed the first time around isn’t as prominent. It’s there perhaps a bit, unfortunately, but the savouriness of the tea itself comes through more, and I definitely finished almost the whole pot of this.
So, note to self: when brewing Western style, Teasenz teas tend to benefit from shorter steep times. Good to know.
