First steep I think I overleafed (even though I followed pkg directions of 2tsp/8oz)…it just came out bitter and unpleasant even though it smelled amazing and I loved it in the bag. I’ll have to wait and have another try at it later as my tea mojo is busted tonight.

Sorry to hear your tea came out bitter. Do you use kitchen spoons or measuring spoons to measure tea?

Kitchen spoon, but I’ve checked it against my measuring tsp and they’re typically very similar.

Hmmm, maybe just less leaves would help then. If you have a gram scale, I could measure it out in grams for you if you think that might help.

Bio

Overstressed aspiring model…tea is what gets me moving in the mornings, calms me down at night and fills all the moments in-between.

I’m still in the everything is delicious and I want to drink it all phase of my exploration, so I’m open to swaps, TTBs and trying new things. (with the exception of jasmine…that icky stuff tastes like soap)

My cupboard is things I have and am willing to swap (either I didn’t like them that much or I have a lot of them) and my wishlist is mostly things I’ve tasted and want to buy or swap for in the future.
