I think I let this steep too long this morning, or used too much leaf. It was pretty astringent and tannin tasting. I could still smell the sweet sticky caramel, but the aftertaste was all tannins. I’ll have to watch it more closely, or throw in a spoonful of honey next time!

How long did you let it steep? Because this has Assam in it, I recommend only steeping for 2 1/2 minutes… 3 max, because it does get pretty tannic otherwise.
It was totally user error. I let it go longer than 2 1/2 minutes, more like 4 as I was rushing around this morning. It made my car smell really good, and it was good at waking me up this morning, I just liked the first cup I made accurately much much better!
