I steeped this for only three minutes and it’s just too strongly pu-erh for my liking. Next time I’m going shorter. I even tried drinking it iced, which for a short while did work. But the flavor is just too much and for me it doesn’t match the coconut and chocolate.
I am honestly surprised that this length of time made such an earthy cup, but I’ll just do the same thing I do with Chocolate Orange. I will like this one then!
Shorter steep next time, though I am intrigued by the idea of cold steeping.
PS there are four flavors of lip balm here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackBearLaboratory
I bet that cold brewing would make this taste fantastic! I’d go for a 14-hour steep.
