First note for this tea!
I have to admit that I didn’t watch the clock carefully on this tea, so it’s entirely possible that I messed up the steeping parameters on this.
However.
Um… I’m not sure if I like this tea. I can definitely taste the lychee flavour, but it was really bitter and floral. I’ve had fresh lychees, and know they have a floral undertone to them, but I also know they can be quite sweet and juicy – I was expecting more of that juicy flavour to come forward.
Put it this way: I finished only half the pot before I had to leave the house in the afternoon, and then dumped the remainder down the drain.
I’ll need to experiment with this, as the sample from Teasenz was quite generous. But I really hope that my subsequent brews are more enjoyable than this.
hmm. how long did u steep it for?
I think it was somewhere around 4 minutes. I really need to get an egg timer one of these days…
maybe try for 3 mins next time?
