Happy belated New Year, Steepsterites!
This one smells like it should have notes of cocoa but I mostly get sweet, dark malt, sweet potatoes, powdered sugar, and stone fruits – so sweet and deep but not chocolate-y like some of the yunnan teas per se. Still, it’s delicious and I’m glad Martin facilitated bringing these Georgian teas to my (and everyone else’s) attention. Thank you! :)
Steep Count: 3 – Western Style. The third steep is where I start to pick up the powdered sugar; there’s even a hint of pepper and spice. It’s a thinner cup but packs a lot of flavour into it.
Flavors: Dates, Malt, Pepper, Plum, Powdered Sugar, Smooth, Spices, Stonefruit, Sweet, Sweet Potatoes, Tangy, Winter Honey

This one really surprised me — so delightful!
Yes, it’s wonderful! I’m still playing around with the steeping parameters to get the most out of it but it seems forgiving too :)
I am so happy you got to try so unusual terroir of tea and moreover, you are happy with their teas! Considering that it has started as a very wild idea, getting Georgian tea directly from Georgia, continued with complicated comunication with them and in the end getting all packages for you done, it was an amazing journey with lovely teas!
