Sipdown (kinda)! I got 2 sample packs of this from Teavivre, but since I wasn’t too enamored of this, I’m going to give the second sample to Indigobloom. So this note is me finishing off the sample I already opened.
I stuck with the same steeping parameters as last time: rinse first with hot water, then steep each time for 1-2 minutes using 85-ish degree water. I got 3 steeps out of the last remaining bit of leaf.
Despite the strawberry flavouring, I did not like the oolong base in this. Too earthy, and the earthiness became more prominent as it cooled. I had the Osmanthus Oolong from Teavivre this morning and that was much better, so I’m not sure what the issue here is.
