Too much tea, maybe? I used about 1.5 tsp for 8 oz., used pretty much boiling water and steeped 1.5 min. It was too bitter, so I’ll be trying a 2 min infusion next time… what were you trying?
Perhaps? I’m certain I didn’t use boiling water yesterday and I know I did today. Both times I steeped for 3 minutes. I’ll knock it down to 2.5 next time!
Tea: I just started drinking loose tea in the fall of 2012, and once I started I had to get more and more and try ALL THE TEAS. Joining Steepster made this worse/easier.
So far it seems that I prefer unflavoured black teas, although I still drink a few that are flavoured each day too. Oolongs, greens, puerhs and white teas are all very good, but I just don’t crave them as often.
Yet.
Me: Ok. Random things. I like animals, I have a little girl and a devoted bf, two cats, and … I’m a geek. I like Lord of the Rings, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, fandom!, pen&paper RPG’s, online RPG’s, video games, silly internet memes, puzzles and a bunch of others things! I taught myself to knit and I’m considering crochet but I need to make time for all these things!
I keep trying to learn languages on Duolingo and failing. I’m currently failing Esperanto. :P
