Sipdown no.10 of 2025.
A bit of a finicky one to brew, as oversteeping via too much leaf or too hot water does lead to sourness, and that wonderful chocolate-covered strawberry note will be lost.
I never quite bothered to time my brews and I can’t remember what temp was best, but the packet directions would be a decent shout. Brew it right, and it would be quite glorious.
Got a new glass teapot for my black teas so that I can base it off the colour now. I like my stone pot but the transparency of the glass is fun to watch the leaves unfurl.
