I recently tried the 2024 teadontlie Minis from white2tea.

Preparation

• Temperature: 205°F / 96°C
• Time: 15s, 20s, 25s
• Tea Amount: 7 g
• Water Volume: 3 oz / 100 mL

Overview

The 2024 teadontlie Minis started light and sweet but quickly turned vegetal and bitter, making for an unenjoyable experience overall.

Steepings

1st Steep (205°F / 96°C, 15s)

Light and sweet.

2nd Steep (205°F / 96°C, 20s)

Vegetal and it starts getting bitter for no reason.

3rd Steep (205°F / 96°C, 25s)

Ouch, too bitter for me. This is probably not gonna get any better, I know where this is going…

Overall Impression

The 2024 teadontlie Minis quickly turned from a light and sweet tea to a bitter and vegetal experience, making it less enjoyable overall.
