Backlog
I’m surprised that I’ve yet to review this tea (I’ve been slacking a lot lately). However, starting now, I’m going to try to make time for reviews. I could start with my backlogs (there are plenty written down that have yet to see the light of day via Steepster), so that’ll give me a good amount of notes jotted down here, for your viewing pleasure!
Anyway, I started out not liking this tea. It was too boring and very light. So light, that I wasn’t sure what I was tasting at first. I had given up on drinking any more due to time and lacking the interest before work.
After work and a few hours of sitting, the leaf had changed for the better. It jumped out with a slight smokiness and a gentle sweet floral/“grassy” (I didn’t want to say “leaf” while it is a leaf after all) note throughout. It’s not too shabby if you push it with temp/steeping time to extract more of the flavors.
Rinse and wait . it really does help.
