Day 3 of the Tea Thoughts Winter Countdown box. Once again failed to take notes the first time I steeped this, so I only have notes for the second time, when I opted for grandpa style brewing. Probably because I did it this way rather than gong fu, I got more of the savory notes rather than the sweet ones. It’s like warm hay. There’s a cooked note in here, but also a dry grass note. I don’t have the right words but it’s really nice “sunny day on an imaginary farm” vibes (key word imaginary, very much sans all the less pleasant smells of real farms).

It’s a very city-girl way to describe something. I’ve been to real farms a few times and have vivid memories of how they generally look and smell very different in real life than on tv.
Sunny day on an imaginary farm is perfect.

Love that comparison! I eventually landed on feeling like this was the palest, softest shades of orange in a sunset
