Sipdown! (So I guess I’d better review it?)
This is my third cup and I think I finally got it where I want it. The first two attempts were too strong and astringent for me, but this last one was at a lower temperature and for less time. I’m getting a nice floral black with a touch of astringency, and lots of fruity notes – mostly strawberry?
It’s good, but I’m not freaking out about it. I wonder if I should have steeped it differently? :| Or maybe this is just one where I and the Steepster community will go our separate ways? I feel like I’m a disappointment to you all. :P
Thanks CrowKettle for letting me try this!

Nah, this isn’t my favourite either.
Yeah, I wasn’t super impressed either. Sometimes it just happens that way!
