I’ve been so tempted by these Zealongs….
Ok, a question for you – you rated this 94 and the other one a 74, but you mention you think the other is better??
@Wombatgirl – I found a better prep time – i haven’t gone in to update it yet, 1:30 is key last time i understeeped then oversteeped the poor aromatic
Have you tried this at 195 rather than boiling? (since it made such a change to the other one)
no, i only had a sample size – i did just get in my order from Chicago tea garden will a full size of each so i will need to try all 3 at varying temps, i was thinking do 190-200 in 5 degree increments…unless someone else has already tried that
