This morning I tried Earl Grey Supreme again, hoping to get a better taste out of it by steeping it for a shorter time than last time I drank it. The result, unfortunately, did not improve: I can hardly get a taste or smell of the bergamont, and the black tea is not smooth and rich – it leaves a slightly unpleasant bitter aftertaste that I am not too fond of.
I think I will just finish this tea off tomorrow morning and go back to my other earl greys.
I joined Steepster Nov. 2/’15. I am an aspiring law student, currently studying for the LSAT. Meanwhile, I drink a lot of tea, work as a legal assistant and watch Netflix in my down time.
Ever since joining Steepster, I have tried a whole bunch new tea, met awesome people, and learned quite a lot! I am still expanding my tea horizons, currently working on exploring the oolong and puerh territories. Oolong has been a pleasant journey so far, while puerh is more rocky and uncertain. I shall keep trekking on!
My favourite teas are blacks and greens, both flavoured and unflavoured, and I have a few staples that I drink all the time.
I love to try teas that I would otherwise not have access to, and therefore I am always looking for people to trade samples with. Send me a message if you are interested!
My Wishlist is teas that I would like to restock (as a note to myself). My ratings are mostly arbitrary. Generally, anything above 90 I will likely restock. 70-80 I enjoyed, but will not go out of my way to get again. Anything below 70 was not that great, and the lower the mark the less I enjoyed it.
