Haha, tried this tea today as well as Leafhopper. What a coincidence.
Brewed western, all 4 grams I had available in 300 ml. Steeped for 3 minutes. Thank you White Antlers and derk
The aroma is fruity, berries, little bit floral and woody.
Taste is incredlibly smooth, bit tangy as blacks should be, thick. Flavours are hard to say, it is tannic, but very enjoyable, honeyish. Bit creamy maybe as well. Some raisins.
Really nice tea. I will make the second brew later today to try it again. Because it’s so tasty and it would be a waste of leaves if I throw them away after 3 minutes steep. I believe it will work in another steeps as well. Haven’t noticed apple notes though.
Flavors: Berries, Floral, Fruity, Honey, Tangy, Tannic, Wood
LOL, what a coincidence! I’m glad you enjoyed the tea.
So do I Leafhopper. It’s great tea indeed.
I tried using same leaves hour and something later again and it was bit more on cinnamon and less tannic, but still great!
