Backlog, sipdown.
195F, overleafed this to use up all the rest of the leaf – which caused leaf to explode out of the teapot. I’m pretty sure I ended up removing some leaf in order to continue steeping. Probably shouldn’t have overleafed – oh well. It’s gone now.
Nectarine and honey, more floral at a hotter temperature.
Flavors: Floral, Honey, Stonefruits, Sweet
I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.
I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.
I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.
I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.
My cupboard is mostly up to date.
Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
