My urge to sipdown is so strong that even though I am craving one type of tea, I am not drinking it and instead drinking this one. It’s not even a sipdown, but a penultimate tasting (i.e., one cup left now).
Luckily I read my previous note on this one that said I got bitterness at full boiling, and I dropped the temp on my electric kettle just in time. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference. This tea still has an underlying bitterness/astringency that just dampens my enjoyment of the other flavors. And this is disappointing because now I have one last cup of this that I do not want to drink and thus sipdown (but is really too small to swap). Sigh.
