Apple

Sunday Sipdown #2

Okay, when I first started drinking tea, Adagio was my GO TO spot. Everything tasted AMAZING to me.

Now, everything tastes bitter and gross. I’ve deduced it’s one of three factors:
1. Before, I didn’t use quite boiling water, as I mostly microwaved the water
2. I’m steeping too long or with too much tea leaves?
3. I’ve just gotten used to better quality tea.

So, this cup, I tried steeping shorter time (1min 30 instead of 3 minutes). Still bitter. Dumped that cup out and did a 1 minute steep with the same leaves. Still bitter, now just watery. I’m going to try again after this watered down cup with less leaves and not so hot water.

I REALLY WANT TO DRINK ALL MY ADAGIO TEAS I GOT LAST YEAR FROM TEA SUBSCRIPTION, BUT I CAN’T GET ANY OF THEM TO TASTE GOOD!!!!!

Advice?!?!?!?!

I love green apples, so when my friend offered this to me, I jumped at the chance! Very tart and crisp. More to follow

Steeping for 3 minutes at boiling is more than enough for this tea. Not too sweet but very aromatic. I enjoy this with a spoonful of granulated cane sugar.

lovely cup of tea, perfect to wake me up when its cloudy and dark outside. there’s something really special about this kind of tea, a plessure to smell the aromatic scent of apple and even more so to enjoy the taste when drinking. i found it had a slight bitter bite after each sip, but found it added more texture without being too powerful.
