Experimented with a somewhat higher temperature this time and totally stuffed it up. Bugger. Lower temperature next time!

Having some more of this as a reward at the end of a difficult day. I accidentally left it steeping for ten minutes this time. It turns out to be a very forgiving tea. I’ve just ordered some more, since I’m going through it like nothing else.

Not too bad, as chocolate teas go. Tastes more carob than chocolate. I had it with milk and a little sugar this time, but I think I’ll forego the sugar next time.

Other Half got this tea at the Japan City shop. The strawberry is mostly in the aroma; the tea itself is a pretty basic Japanese green. Okay but nothing special.

I was in the mood for a Chinese green today, and this is one of the best I have. A sweet, delicate tea that I can drink a lot of.

This tea is wonderful now that I’ve hit on exactly the right way to brew it. Mmmm.

Definitely this week’s favourite new tea. I can see I’m going to just keep coming back to this one.

Really disappointing. The first steeping was really lacking in flavour and I was hoping for better with the second, but it also failed to deliver on the promised aroma and sweet taste. I liked the Ti Kuan Yin from The Tea Centre much, much better than this.

Had more of this yesterday. Still good!

I’ve just been drinking this the past couple of days. I’m really loving this tea. The second and third steepings are always the best. Sometimes the first steeping has a slight edge of bitterness and sometimes not. I’m still trying to work out what’s causing that. I might keep a really close eye on the temperature next time.
