974 Tasting Notes
This tea has a very light flavor to me. The first time I tried it, I was able to get a light muscatel flavor, but that’s about it. This time, I steeped in in a 12 oz. mug with two heaping teaspoons of tea. I can taste the muscatel flavor a bit more, and a sort of leafy freshness. It’s still light, but pleasant. I wonder how it would taste if I steeped it in a gaiwan instead.
Preparation
I’m drinking a 12 oz. mug of this with milk and one packet of sweetener, and I tried a spoon of it before I added the milk. I used two rounded teaspoons of tea. This tea is creamy-smooth, as the description says, and it seems to be fairly malty, I think. It’s a bit like drinking a Malteser without the chocolate. If that’s what maltiness is, then it does have some of that flavor. It’s also very sweet, which I like. I’ll try it with just milk sometime, and I might steep it a minute longer another time. Overall, it’s tasty and I’m glad to have it.
