60

Had this at my oldest friend’s wedding yesterday. I’ve known her since we were 4 years old. Crazy.

The temp of the hot water at the venue was too high for a bai mu dan (as I was expecting) but it still turned out okay. It steeped a light brown/ yellow color (it looked more like a color characteristic of a green tea). I suspect the leaves got “cooked” a little.

It tasted pretty good. The pomegranate flavoring was genuine and not cloying or overwhelming. It had some slightly cocoa-y notes mixed in with a pleasantly sour fruity edge. It would have been better with 60 degree F water, but it was fine this way too.

Flavors: Cocoa, Fruity, Pleasantly Sour
