Day 13/24
I’ve had this tea before iced and it didn’t thrill me, so I decided to give it a go hot.
I like the undertones of this—pretty heavy on the peach and slightly floral. Before, I didn’t really get the peach out of this, which was kind of disappointing, but it’s here in full force tonight. Unfortunately, this tea is very astringent. It’s not too bad but I steeped it at 80 degrees for 2 minutes (which is pretty conservative for how I would normally steep whites and pretty standard for greens) and it’s still has a pretty intense astringency; this tea would likely turn very bitter if you weren’t careful with it.
I’m definitely liking it more than my memories can recall, so I’ll boost it a few points. It certainly not my favourite and I think I would get tired of it very quickly.
Flavors: Floral, Jasmine, Peach
I found Cherry Blossom was astringent too :/
Same :/ Maybe it’s because they’re both white-green blends but get recommended steeping parameters of whites.
I think that may be the case!
