3rd steeping. Still getting better. Bitterness is down, taste is still bold and beautiful. Smoky, earthy, nutty.

Oops. I left this batch steeping for a bit too long. I usually don’t mind when that happens, and this is no exception. It’s just a tad on the big, bold and bitter side, with a bit of a coffee aroma, but I still like it.

This is also the 2nd steeping of these leaves, maybe that has to do with it.

Strong, slightly bitter Oolong. Smoky, almost woodsy flavor. Good, probably better in the winter.

Tea offering at Just Breakfast in Morgan Hill. Decent, even with cheap breakfast diner style serving. (Cup of hotish water with tea packet on the side.)

Full flavored, perfect balance of earthy bitterness and drinkability. The perfect green tea.
