I used 1.5 David’s Tea perfect spoonfuls in my aqua-ovo tea tumbler. From my experience, this is a tea that does better with less dry leaf to avoid unpleasant astringency.
Gourd-pumpkin vegetable taste on the start of the sip. Ties in well with the flavour of the spices. There is a bluntness (almost bitterness) of the gourd vegetable taste close to the end of the sip with the blooming of the spices into the aftertaste. Black tea flavour present in the background. There’s a flavour that reminds me of whipped cream topping in the aftertaste.
Nice flavour with second infusion at 5 minutes. Pumpkin flavour is more pronounced but softer. The whipped cream topping aftertaste is still present as well.
