A sipdown! (M: 3, Y: 31)
For two days (!) I want to log this sipdown of this beautiful tea that is produced in the US, but nada in thoughts. derk, thanks a lot for sending me some!
I still remember those last 5 grams in my 300 ml cup. It was just plain delicious, for first time sitting outside, enjoying the sun, seeing insects flying all around, including one of the biggest bugs Meloe proscarabaeus in my country.
And as I wrote, tea was great too. Very “black” tea like, but with complexity; as I have noticed tannic note closely followed by woody note. Tea was cooling down and new notes as rye bread and grains overall appeared.
This harvest was great. Maybe new ones aren’t so good? Maybe I overleafed it and it worked well?
