Tea Journal: Adagio's Rooibos

Man, this is early for me to be posting! Especially on a weekday. XD But, it's for a good reason. Time to update the tea journal~! I decided to start the morning by getting into my box from Adagio. This time, I opted to try some rooibos. As with the Earl Grey, I've been a fan of rooibos for quite a while now. So again, I'm sticking with familiar teas until I get the hang of this loose leaf stuff.

Rooibos
Vendor: Adagio
Type: Herbal tea
Amount of leaf: 3 tsp
Amount of water: Approx. 16 oz.
Water temp: Boiling
Steep time: 8 minutes
Additions: Sugar

Thoughts:

Well, this was a slightly disappointing cup. This tea seems to be rather on the mild side, so my chosen amount of leaf really wasn't enough. This resulted in a disappointingly weak cup. I think that, when I find the correct amount of leaf, the flavor will probably be good. But it's going to take some experimentation to find out the correct amount to use. I may also try extending the steep time, to see if that helps. We'll see, I suppose. Luckily, I love rooibos, so I have good incentive to experiment until I get it right! =)

...And now, it's time for breakfast. Ja~!

Umineko Episode 2

Okay, I just finished Umineko episode 2. These games are definitely interesting...I won't quite say whether they're as confusing as the anime or not, yet. It's too early to say that. But I'm definitely having fun. And this post got way long. ^^;;

Onward to episode 3~! =D

FMA Brotherhood Episode 47

And I'm late again. Bleh. But I have an excuse, really! Umineko ate my brain. Yup, that's it. XD I've been spending most of my free time at night playing, so it took me a while to get this watched. But here I am, so it's okay. ^^;;

( Spoilers, as usual )

Is it next week yet? =D
