I’m finding this tea quite bitter, first and second infusions. I thought I let the first infusion go too long, so I reduced the time, but the bitterness is still there. It’s still drinkable, and I’ll keep going as long as the leaves keep giving.
Both infusions brew up really dark, like coffee, and it is strong. The first infusion was earthy and bitter. I did pick up dates too.
Infusion two is earthy and bitter, with a bit of nuttiness.
Because of the bitterness, it’s not really a favourite of mine, but for now it’s keeping me warm on this really cold day.
Thanks for sharing Cameron B!
