Second steep. Used boiling water instead of cooled in an attempt to extract more flavor from the previously steeped leaves. It worked. I think I prefer using boiling water with this tea rather than slightly cooled water.
Trying again. Let the water cool back from a boil for 1 minute before steeping. The flavor definitely improves once the tea has cooled down a little bit, but still is not as complex as I would prefer.
A slightly smoky aroma and a very mild flavor. I let the water cool for 30 seconds off the boil before steeping and added a dash of milk. Not as full of a mouth feel as I prefer, but not bad. Leaving neutral for now.
