Gosh. Seem to have managed to scald these leaves a bit.
The tea is still fairly nice, but there’s a certain sharpness and bite to the flavour that wasn’t there before. And frankly wasn’t supposed to be there either. It’s like if you take a sip it’s got tiny little needles in it.
I haven’t ruined it. It’s definitely still drinkable but it’s just a little bit off the spot.
