This tea bites.
I struggled to finish my cup.
Maybe I should blend this with some other tea?

Maybe lower temp and shorter time will tame some of the bite? Darjeelings can be pretty harsh.

I tried brewing at 90-92’c steeping for 2 minutes only, still not helping much.
I plan to blend this with another mediocre tea, see how that will turn out.

Bio

Working as a barista. I take my coffee black.
A complete novice in tea.

The world of tea is literally a rabbit-hole.
My boss wanted to put some nice teas on the menu for customers who look for alternatives to coffee, and he asked me to source teas for his coffee shop.
There, I jumped through the rabbit-hole.
I am not sure if I should thank or curse my boss.

I only recently starting to appreciate English black tea.
Particularly enjoy Earl Grey tea, both plain black and with milk.
