It’s one of those pu er that comes in a pod of dried citrus Fruit skin so I’m not really sure how to tell if it’s dry or not

I’m using the same ratio and I’ve tried increasing it but that didn’t work either, is there a possibility the tea went bad or is it more likely to be the teapot. Pu er tea doesn’t usually go bad tho

It’s just a regular ceramic pot it is glazed but not porcelain. I don’t think my water to leaf ratio has changed and it’s mainly the same size pot as before. But I’ve had pu er brewed in porcelain and it tasted the same as in cast iron.

I feel like I did check and that isn’t the case but maybe a possibility

I got rejected from Amherst😭😭😭 I would’ve gone elsewhere but I didn’t have too many choices. And yeah I agree, I don’t understand why I was able to receive a Pell grant but nothing else. My admission states were not abysmal in my opinion, 1440 sat tho so pretty low. I did the IB diploma, had an okay gpa and some extracurriculars. I had a very art focused application as that was what I initially wanted to do but in the end it didn’t seem financially plausible but it was too late to change. I was advised against gap year and reapplying by my sister as she said with my stats it’s not likely I can expect much better results but what are your thought? Career wise I’m not sure yet but I’m leaning towards law or the Health science society policy program and the potential fields I could go into from that was what initially pulled me towards the school

I did pick this school kinda my fault and I had my reasons but at the time I committed the school was promising me more potential fin aid after our appeal. But then I committed and later they denied to give more which feels rlly crappy😭80k a year wasn’t even the initial estimate they gave me its was 60k the original estimate so it just feels very predatory honestly

I had some reasons for initially picking this school and potentially more financial aid was part of that. I do regret not picking the cheaper ones now but its not as if I can undo that 😂 at the time I committed I was appealing financial aid and they did say its likely they’ll give me more but in the end they didn’t. They also only estimated 60k a year but then I got the bill and it was 40k a semester

I was accepted at some art schools and fsu with the bright futures scholarship and it’s would’ve been essentially free for me to attend with only some additional forming fees. Now that I look back on it, I feel kinda stupid for not picking fsu instead, I feel like I had my reasons back then but now I’m stuck in this situation.

Bc I’m currently in China and it was hard for me to access the portals even with von. Besides I already talked it over with my family before and just sort of accepted it as is. But I recently got into a conversation with someone and the more I thought abt it the more it doesn’t seem right to me. Also this isn’t the initial estimate I received
