Geek Steep S2E22 – Cloak & Dagger
Gongfu!
I had a really hard time picking teas to pair with this week’s fandom and because it was a longer format fandom I actually explored a few teas. However, none of them really felt right in the end even though they were perfectly enjoyable teas. It was just a touch comic to pair with. Really, really tough!
Anyway, here’s what I wrote for IG when I initially drank this tea while reading:
This black tea has a super distinct dry leaf aroma of sweet waxy red fruits, and of all the teas included in this January’s tea subscription box it was the one the smelled most enticing to me so it’s what I’ve brewed up first. Steeped the taste does seem finish with a lick of tangy ripe red fruits, but most of the session seemed weighted towards golden notes of honey, baked sweet potato, and sticky toffee!
