From CameronB! Thank you again! A lone tiny mini waffle. This MIGHT be my first mini anything from white2tea? I’m excited to try it. This tiny waffle fits perfectly in the bottom of my infuser basket. I don’t know if that will help it infuse… Honestly, the amount of leaf here is probably less than I would use in a mug for a ripe puerh. The flavor is fine — a bit starchy, nothing negative about it. I would expect magical waffle flavor, even if in the back of my mind I know that is a stretch… but it seems like plain puerh to me. The second steep possibly did have more waffle qualities… more bready. The third weakened a bit. But the fourth is rich and coffee like… just the way I like it! The tiny waffles might lead to more expectation than otherwise, but the flavor here was decent enough if you want a cup of ripe puerh. I would say white2tea’s description is accurate anyway!
Steep #1 // 24 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // 12 minutes after boiling // 2 min
Steep #3 // 9 min after boiling // 5 min
Steep #4 // just boiled // 12 min
2023 sipdowns: 101
I’m in a rush to find some low-hanging-fruit-last-session-sipdowns for the last few days of the year, to up my sipdown number….
Hehe me too! Suddenly looking at samples and nearly-empties.
