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.
Resteep. Unlike Henry the 8th, the second verse is not the same as the first. It is missing quite a bit of flavor and fullness, but is still passable. I’m not going to try a third steep.
