Argh, did I steep this wrong? Because it tastes like a particularly revolting brand of cough syrup. Bleh!!! I’m going to have to pour some out and then dilute it because it literally isn’t drinkable as is.
I made this up as an iced tea using the same method as usual (30 g of tea) in 1 liter boiling water steeped 5:30 min and then I filled the pitcher up the rest of the way with ice to make 2 liters. What about you – those of you who enjoyed it?

I used the same method as you, though I don’t think I used 30g. Wasn’t weighing it out. Boiling water for about 4-5 minutes, then a top-up with cold water and a sit overnight in the fridge.
I don’t get the cough syrup flavour that you do, but I agree that there’s definitely something off in the background. A pity, because the tea smells great.
30g is about the same as the 8 tsp they recommend. It could be that I oversteeped it, though given that the time range was 4-7 minutes I didn’t think 5.5 min was that bad.
didn’t like it…same boat as you heh
