So. A lot of leaf, and a shorter time to balance it, to try this one out again.
The good news is that this tea now tastes like something other than leaves and earth. There is definitely a bright fruitiness that I mostly associate with goji berry, and there is definitely an incense note. Not sure how I feel about that one. Ok, well I’m not in love with it. I don’t tend to like overly herbaceous teas, and I feel like the incense gives it an almost medicinal quality.
Overall, meh. Not my style. I can sometimes tolerate these things better in cold brew, so that will be my next experiment.
