Third steep of yesterdays leaves. It’s a mix of one part having tons of pre-christmas stuff to do, one part being lazy and one part wish to wring as much out of these leaves as I can.
First cup is a bit thin. It could have done with a ‘crutch’ or a slightly longer steep. The second cup will invariably get that, given my brewing method of leaving the leaves loose in the pot, so we’ll see if it makes a difference.
I would like to say that the tea had gained a sweet note, but to be honest I think that’s just the after-effects of the piece of chocolate I just ate…
Second cup with a significantly longer steep is better. It still has some of that baked flavour left, but I want to repeat the statement that it tastes like how bees look, because I’m picking up a small note of strong honey underneath.
Okay, that’s the morning tea. I’m going to get started on a to-do list and then my numerous chores.

granville island as in up in Vancouver? I’m sensing a new place to visit when I run up there next time…
I assume so. I got it in a swap with Jillian and she lives in that general area.
Yes I got it from Granville Island in Vancouver. I’ve got family living there so I visit fairly often. Granville Island as a whole is an amazing place to visit if you’re ever in the area, and the tea shop they had in the Marketplace had a very nice slection of loose-leaf.
Yes, it’s lovely. I’ve been to the model boat museum and ran through the market quickly, but I was only in there for the beeswax/honey shop. Next time I’ll look for the tea, thank you!
