This bag is closing in on being done. I see in my last tasting note that I reordered this, so I hope I’m sitting on another bag of it and that this isn’t that second bag. I’m still heartbroken that Theodor is gone. Had they given ANY notice, I’d have placed another huge order. I don’t understand what they did with all their stock and why they wouldn’t have sold it instead of abruptly shutting their doors.
When I open the bag I smelled graham cracker notes with a little lemon behind it. I steeped this at a higher temp for a shorter period of time before looking at my last steeping parameters. The super hot cup seems a little more astringent than I recall. As it cools I still get the same thing. I think I burnt this cup which feels like a crime considering that I can’t get any more. Le sigh!
