drank Earl Grey by Ahmad Tea
105 tasting notes

made this as a pick-me-up at work, as yesterday I went to a concert and went home pretty late (it was after midnight! I go to bed at 11 at most!!)
sadly, I think the water was too hot, as this is slightly more bitter than what I typically go for :(

This was a favorite of K S who was a wonderful Steepsterite. He made it at 195F to cut the bitterness according to his notes. So I think you are spot on as to why you didn’t enjoy it. Maybe try a lower temp steep and see if it helps.

yes, I think that was precisely my mistake! I got distracted and let the water boil :(
