Drank this last night. Definitely a stronger tea than the first flush green I previously tried from Shan Valley. Flavor was fuller all around and there was a slight bitterness, but it didn’t diminish the tea. A little bitterness is fine, I think, as long as the rest of the flavor can stand up to it. And the bitterness might be entirely due to user error anyway — I oversteeped this by at least two minutes, so I will need do a re-tasting before I write my official review. Even as it was, I quite liked the tea.
