I’m knitting gifts and I let a cup of Amy Pond slightly cool. Man does this tea get bitter when I let it cool off slightly! This tea is very warming and the spice picks me up when it’s hot, but once it has cooled off the orange takes over and makes it bitter. I’m not too sure if that makes sense, because it could be the cranberry or rather the combination of the two. I did not oversteep either because hot it was still delicious. I think also my venture with Mariage Freres teas have made me realize what good, high quality tea is suppose to taste like. So maybe this tea is disappointing me because it’s lower quality and quickly became bitter once it cooled down.
