Not sure what I did, but I got a lot of bitterness out of this tea this morning! Might be my vessel, which is not the same one I was using last week. I might need to just leaf lighter in it. Could also be that I ate some sweet peppers before this, which is affecting my tastebuds.
Very deep green liquor with a beany flavor in steep two, and the bitterness is reduced to a pleasant bite in the background. A very different experience than the previous sessions, but still good.
