I was really excited about this tea. It brewed up strong and vegetal which tasted nice and bracing for the first few sips, when it was very hot. Then I helped make dinner (sopas! So good) and sort of forgot it was sitting there on the counter. By the time I got back to it, it was lukewarm and almost knocked me over with a nearly undrinkable bitterness. I’m not going to rate it based on this cup, though. I was somewhat distracted during the process of brewing so there’s a chance it was up to 10 degrees too hot or brewed up to a minute or two too long.

I had no idea! Given my tendency to wander, I should probably save the green for when I’m focused and ready to down a whole cup relatively quickly.
Green tea can get really bitter as it cools, depending on the type.

Mmmm Sopas!
Totally. It was worth the sacrifice, for sure.
