Wow. I tried their Tangerine Blossom red tea earlier today and loved it. So I thought I’d try this Orange Blossom White this afternoon.
Not a fan. The leaf is goregous, but very sour and very bitter. I actually dumped out the first cup. And I’m barely making it through the second (I thougth a second steeping might be less… intense). The sweet orange of the last tea has been replaced by something I’d rather clean counters with. BLEA.

How did you steep it (temperature and time)?
I don’t remember exactly, but it was a lower temperature, shorter time steep.
hmm… because I just had some recently and didn’t experience the sour bitter taste that you are experiencing. If you still have some more give it a second chance because it might surprise. Typically when I go to Shang Tea, he uses just under boiling water (208) and brews the first steeping for no more than 30 seconds.
