Sipdown (280)
Finished this one off while being rather un-lazy and listening to my employment law lectures.
I was actually talking to Roswell Strange and Sil this morning about how even if I like a tea, it takes me forever to finish it off if its a green tea or a white tea. I don’t know why but I just don’t reach for them often.
This tea is an exception since I was so close to being done that it was an easy sipdown. I received the 16 grams sample of this one in my July My Tea Box subscription. I had it iced and got a nice pineapple flavor. Today, as a hot tea, it is all mango. Juicy and ripe mango with a pineapple tang lingering in the back of the sip. I don’t taste the green tea base at all really and that’s preferable for me. All in all, it’s a good tea and one I think I prefer hot to my surprise.

My theory is that it’s because green/white tea typically have more particular brewing parameters…
This makes sense but also I have a habit of heating the kettle to 160F while I pick my tea. So technically, it would be easier most of the time to steep a green or white since the kettle is sort of pre-heated to a lower temp vs. when I pick a black/herbal and then need to wait longer for it to heat even more to 200F.
