Steeped uncovered in gaiwan. Medium-colored liquor.

The first time I drank this I didn’t mind it, but it’s not doing it for me this time. The leaves themselves smell burnt to me, and the first steep tastes artificial. There is nuttiness and a roasted taste there, it just doesn’t taste authentic to me.

The second steep is a little bit better, but not by much. I think it’s just not for me. I’ve got 8 grams left of this, but I don’t see myself drinking it.

Flavors: Artificial, Nutty, Roasted
