I tasted this again with a hotter steep, so I thought I should enter a separate note.
I steeped it this time at 175F for 3 min.
The color and aroma are unchanged. The tea flavor has come out more. It is quite a mild green tea flavor. I get some sweetness on the sides of my tongue that I didn’t get from the 165 F steeping. There is little nuttiness either from the tea or the rice, which is disappointing. There is still little bitterness. I get a light sweet aftertaste from this cup.
I need coffee; I love tea.
I have been learning about tea since I was a teenager, but joining Steepster has accelerated my education.
I gave up soda (completely) this Spring and have re-discovered tea to fill the afternoon void.
I like strong, well balanced tastes. I ferment my own mead, cider, and sauerkraut.
I like green tea, oolong, black tea, flavored black tea, pu-erh, and some tisanes! Oh, and Mate, too!
Lately, I have been most enjoying nutty green teas, oolong teas, and will soon be embarking on a tasting adventure of single estate black teas.
