Today I drank the last 9g of my cake. It was a very nice way as well. First I had some of it with breakfast, during which I also filled up my thermos. I then drank from it during the day, as I went skiing. It was an awesome powder day with blue skies, something we have had very little of this winter so far. After returning, I did another batch brew, which was super satisfying. I especially appreciated the amazing texture and strong flavour you can get from a tea like this without any danger of making it unpalatable as there is basically no astringency and only very little bitterness. To conclude, I boiled the tea for 15 minutes, which I do quite rarely these days, but I thought it was a fitting end to my very positive relationship with the Rooster King.

The king is dead, long live the king!

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
