Day 10 of the Tea Thoughts winter countdown box. Gong fu’d this just so I’d have an excuse to use the teeny tea tray again. This brews up a pale, medium-bodied liquor. It’s savory with notes of hay and mildly sweet crisp greens, like asparagus or snap peas. Slightly dry at the end of the sip. Perfectly cozy yesterday when it was pouring rain and I was super tired. Later steeps got a little bitter, so keeping steep time short is clutch.
