1st Steep – Medium body, hint of spice, crisp, creamy, lemon?, a little bit of astringency in the aftertaste which I hope doesn’t become more defined with more steepings
2nd Steep – A lot more fruity (apples), still smooth overall
3rd Steep – Still holding up!
My favorite teas are Taiwan high mountain, Anxi, Wuyi, and dancong oolongs. I also need my deep steamed sencha every now and then. I’m not totally into flavoreds but I’m always up for interesting flavors (like ATR’s Nirvana and Toasted Fig). My favorite natural flavors are roasted and floral.
I have a BA in Biochemistry from Smith College with a minor in Japanese. I have a Masters of Bioscience from Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, CA.
I love J-R&B and J-Urban and used to do a radio show on WOZQ Northampton, MA. I also play WoW (Aireene on Proudmoore).
