Could you describe the 2nd steep as buttery? I ran out of this before I learned to not blindly follow their steeping times and at 7min it’s VERY buttery.

Ricky 15 years ago

No, not buttery. It was more like disgusting, sort of like how I felt about cocomint. Yes! That’s what I’m getting! The cocomint feeling. Haha, strange.

Cofftea 15 years ago

facepalm… LOL The buttery thing WAS disgusting lol. It was like I ate a spoonful of butter.

Ricky 15 years ago

Hahaha, =P I just saved it, kind of… but making a third infusion and mixing it with the second. Lighter and drinkable at least.

I first read “Breaking the Sorapot” and began to panic! Haha, I need to read things more carefully.

Ricky 15 years ago

Oh my, I’d be quite upset if Sorapot broke.

Just googled it, and the Sorapot is gorgeous! I wish you many happy magic tea moments with your newly opened teapot!

Actually, I did a little test of my own yesterday because I was curious. I know that my glass infuser mug holds two cups and just a hair over, because I made sure when I bought it, using my measuring cup. I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t overfill it if I used the sorapot, so I poured it into the sorapot chamber and found that I need to leave about 3/4ths of an inch of space at the top when the whole thing is horizontal, if not a full inch (hard to say, cylindrical and all), to make a full 16oz cup consisting of two liquid ‘cups’ of tea. Hope that helps!

The Sorapot is so beautiful – your friends will change their minds once you serve them tea from it :)

Ricky 15 years ago

Isn’t it Lauren? Steepster offers it on their Steepster Select every once in a blue moon.

Yeah, right after I made the post I did a test of my own sophistre. I filled up my Nalgene which holds 24oz and I was able to empty all of it into it, but I spilled some. So moral of the story, fill it up half way to get the 11oz. Now, I’m glad it fills up to about 20z =]. I usually make about 16oz so 3/4 ways would be good.

Does it taste better if it comes from the Sorapot Jacqueline? Oh I do wonder =] It’s like drinking from expensive chinaware, or teaware in this case =]

This one sounds really interesting from the reviews I’ve read so far :D

Ricky 15 years ago

Kusmi’s very interesting, they have this consistent quality to them. Haha, I feel like one could make this one themselves with Four Fruits and Earl Grey.

Great minds think alike. :)

Ricky 15 years ago

Indeed, but I’d repurchase it. Well, maybe a small tin =P It’s definitely not something I’d have every day though.

Suzi 15 years ago

Sounds yummy!

Ricky 15 years ago

It is! I think I like this one more than St. Petersburg.

While I’m not turned off by them, I can definitely say the spices surprised me as well- kinda like a pu erh chocolate chai…

Alicia 15 years ago

Oh I want to try that one too! :)

Ricky 15 years ago

Unfortunately, I don’t have anymore or I’d send you some.

Alicia 15 years ago

That’s okay… I am going to bug a guy about Pu-erh tomorrow. Learn what’s what in the moldy tea business.

When I see this I think of white peony which has a buttery taste when steeped for 7 min…
