Backlog.
Another sample from Angel at Teavivre, for which I am phenomenally grateful.
So, catching up with writing up the teas once more, I find myself coming to my notes on this one. I brewed it in a gaiwan for a change and felt the extra effort was well worth it.
Upon adding water to the leaf I was immediately hit by a waft of malt and raisins, and the resultant liquor was very dark. It tasted primarily of malt and raisins with a pleasing bitterness at the back of the throat. Apart from this bitterness, the main experience was smooth and mellow, developing more rounded fruity notes as it cooled. There was a hint of winter berries in the colder brew supported by notes of allspice that gave it a Christmassy feel. The aftertaste was thick and sweet. Overall, yet another tea that I would be happy to have in my cupboard in quantity.

Hellow Mr R ! Been missin ya on here!
Thanks, mrmopar. I’ve been reading but not writing lately. Lost my writing mojo but I’m hoping to get it back on track, because I have several more Teavivre teas to write up.
Yah I need to clear my back log. Training new employees at work takes a bunch of my time lately.
It’s all job and funding applications for me. Kills the desire to write about much else.
