I had it again but steeped it less, also added a little cream and it tasted so good! I feel this is a favourite for me and am SO glad I have 100 grams of it or else I would have finished it all by now. Bumping my rating from a 55 to a 95.

Flavors: Bitter, Creamy, Tea, White Chocolate

Looks like you are new here. Welcome!
Cutting down the length of time you steep helps alleviate too strong of a flavor. If you leave tea to steep for too long it can result in a bitter cup. I usually steep for 3 minutes for blacks I haven’t tried before and adjust from there. Reading other reviewers steeping parameters for teas can help you figure out how to adjust for a particular tea.

Thanks Dustin! I’ll try that for sure next time, I steeped it for 6 minutes so that’s probably why. I appreciate the advice, it’ll probably help a lot :)
