I’ve been drinking this again all week at work. Today the water was too hot and I got more of a green tea flavor (but not boiled green tea) with some peach notes. Still, it was not bitter. The hotter water did something to change the peach flavors, too, making them taste more “stewed,” which makes sense. There was nothing delicate about this cup. I don’t know how hot the water was, but I definitely prefer it when steeped in 165F water.
This is You :-D

Bio
I need coffee; I love tea.
I have been learning about tea since I was a teenager, but joining Steepster has accelerated my education.
I gave up soda (completely) this Spring and have re-discovered tea to fill the afternoon void.
I like strong, well balanced tastes. I ferment my own mead, cider, and sauerkraut.
I like green tea, oolong, black tea, flavored black tea, pu-erh, and some tisanes! Oh, and Mate, too!
Lately, I have been most enjoying nutty green teas and oolong teas.
