107 Tasting Notes
my first steep: hardly tasted anything. astringent feel – i guess it needed a rinse :)
action: boil the leaves in pot of water, added another teaspoon of leaves, steeped longer
2nd steep: i can taste something. it is not bitter. so longer steep is good and not harmful :)
I’m not really much of a green tea person..maybe because I am not patient enough to wait for a minute after boiling? This one turns out okay for me most of the time but I’m excited to try good green tea that I’ve only recently read about.
I often use just under boiling water for my greens as a bit of a “cheat”, though I do not mind waiting for water to cool either.
hm..ive thought of that. haha, was wondering if there was a special reason that the water had to boil. thanks guys!
the flavor was stronger than i expected. i dont usually steep my teas for too long, it tasted better by the 2nd and 3rd steeps :)
i tried mixing it with a plain black tea and steeping for a shorter time. tasted better.
i love how this flavor mellows down and mixes with my other teabags in one mug :)
