I re-steeped the leaves from the last cup (adding a minute onto the previous steeping time) and found that the taste this time around is lighter and there’s also a curious hint of spice. Le gaspeth Could this be the elusive pepper flavour the tea gurus speaketh of???
I honestly have no idea, but if you squint and use your imagination I suppose the flavour might be considered peppery. shrugs Maybe I’m just crazy and this tea has finally driven me mad! ;)
While tea-induced madness IS totally possible, I do think that spicy taste is the elusive pepper… if you squint your eyes and tilt your head just right… Or we’ll just say it is, k? :)
Sounds good! :D
