I love grapefruits. I buy a bag every week. I don’t care for sweet grapefruits though. I like them tart. Well, this tea captures what grapefruit tastes like… Maybe more like a pomelo because there is a little sweetness, the citrusy blast and then the “good” bitterness that kind of lingers for quite a while after you’ve finished eating a piece. It is mellow, not too tangy which is why I think of a pomelo more.
Again as with the other Lupicia that I tried today, it has a nice mild flavor but not as faint as the others. So far I got 3 infusions out of it, and it is still flavorful to me (2m, 2.5m, 3m) so I may go for another. I have no idea about resteeps when it comes to Western brew. I start with what they recommend and add 30 secs. Give me a holler if I’m doing it wrong. lol.
The description says “This tea has a mature taste”. I guess I’m immature because I got a chuckle out it. lol, What is a mature taste? If it has a mature taste, then I’ve been really mature for as long as I can remember hehe. I suppose it’s a good way to let the buyer know that it has “good” bitterness in it… And in this case, I am glad it has it. I dislike bitter unless its good bitter.^^ I like that it’s not too sweet and it tastes as a grapefruit should.
Highly recommended if you like grapefruit.

Your resteeps sound solid to me… and if it tastes good to you then you’re definitely doing it right! :D
Whew, thanks! :D ^^
