Teavivre sample 2/5!
The dry leaves here are really pretty, they’re very whole and twisty and they smell kinda weird? like grape and almost like wine..?
This is tasty! grape notes, with a dark floral taste, even a bit of apple, it has this bit of a doughy kind of a thing going on too which is actually awesome, a tad of smoked woody kind of notes,
Well the second steep is a lot different, more like apricot and hops and uh peach? it’s almost like peach uh like brisk? it’s very syrupy, a really thick mouthfeel, also rice notes
The third I did shorter than the second in hopes of maybe it being more like the first, but it isn’t and it’s fine. Apricot and peach, wood, a hint of earth and there’s definitely flowers now with astringency
The fourth brought out more wood and earth than before, cinnamon, vanilla, flowers, apple, apricot
Fifth has like the teeniest bit of cocoa? some vanilla, apricot, flowers, earth, apple, astringency increasing to quite noticeable levels
There’s a lot of flowers in the sixth, with peach and apple
More peach, apple and earthy flowers until a bit of cinnamon pops in
Finally! The long lost grape taste has returned! I mean a tiny bit well actually not that tiny of a bit it’s actually quite grapey around like the tenth steep. I really like grape notes in my tea. But I don’t like flowers so this one isn’t entirely for me, but if you like em then you’ll love this.
