This was fantastic. After my unremarkable first cup of the day, having this next was like night and day. It was softly sweet, and malty, but I could still taste the hint of dryness. Looking at what others tasted, I think it is a slight coffee or cocoa note, but it is very subtle. It wasn’t bitter at all, though I dumped my entire sample in and did 4 short steeps which worked out really well. I am not sure if this would stand up to oversteeping.
