So, introducing this one to the SO has been fun. The following are some of her comments:
Wash:
“It smells like your dogs ran into a wet forest and rolled around in mushrooms.”
First steep:
“It smells like someone is making rum in a wet, dense forest.”
“It smells like rum. Like someone said I’m going to make some rum and put it into my tea. Pirates would drink this when all the rum is gone.”
Second steep:
“Now it’s like someone said I want to make mushroom alcohol. But not.”
Third steep:
“It tastes like wet bark and overly sauteed spinach with a little bit of apple cider vinegar”
“…I think I’m getting tea drunk.”
A couple steeps later:
“I think I’m /too/ tea drunk, can you finish this for me?”
She liked it more than I expected (she hasn’t been too receptive to puerh so far), so hopefully we’ll be able to enjoy more of them together moving forward. Now we have to go back outside to harvest more sweet potatoes.
Flavors: Earth, Mushrooms, Rum, Wet Earth
