Boiling
Dry Leaves: Grey brown scattered with the burnt sienna of the open end of a broken stick. Appears be a handful of miniature twigs.
Wet Leaves: Auburn & green stained brown. Chopped leaves and stems. Ode to a Nightingale.
Liquor: Rich auburn
Mouthfeel is smoother than creamy. Too bad it finishes with a sour tightening of the salivary glands.
Under the lids smells of roasted marshmallows. Elsewhere, it’s all campfire. Warms the entire belly.
I keep coming back to this tea because it takes me on those walks through low mountains that turn enjoyably into speed setting records due to rain.
