I am not sure what happened, but this tea was incredibly bitter last week. I must have overleafed or had less water than I thought. What the heck?

Butiki Teas

Any chance you used boiling water? I’ve noticed that a number of people had instinctively used boiling water since the leaves are so black or sometime forget that it was an oolong and used boiling water.

Also, maybe could be a bitter piece of pecan.

Probably, I was half asleep when I made this tea! I will pay more attention next time!

Bio

Hello,
I am a nurse. I have numerous hobbies: reading, crocheting, crafting, card making, scrapbooking, photography, shopping, and of course drinking TEA!

I started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I went into a DavidsTea for the first time and have been hooked ever since! My favourite is probably white tea, but I also love black and oolong. I also like a nice relaxing rooibos or herbal in the evening. On Sundays, I like to treat myself and make a tea latte.

My favourite flavours are nutty, vanilla, chocolate, jasmine, tropical, fruity, earl grey.
My dislikes are lavender, rose, hibiscus, banana, and straight green or overly vegetal teas.

I am admittedly fairly generous in my rating scale. Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.
