20 Tasting Notes
This morning I brewed 3 teaspoons of the pearls in .75L of water. I’m trying to make it a bit stronger, but it still was fairly weak. Not sure if that’s how the pearls are (more subtle) or if I just need to add more pearls. Will keep experimenting
Preparation
I’m upping my rating. The first time I tasted this, it was so different that I didn’t know what to think. But the smokey flavor has really grown on me over the last two weeks. I’ll definitely be ordering more of this to keep on hand.
Preparation
Very interesting. This is my first try and I’ve never had a tea that tasted smokey like this. When I took a whiff of the tea leaves, my first thought was that I mistakenly opened a package of beef jerky. The smell was very strong, so I decided to steep on the short end of four minutes to not overwhelm myself on the first cup.
I expected the taste to be unenjoyably strong, but it’s nice. The smokey taste is there in the back, but it’s not as overwhelming as I imagined. Next, I’ll give it a try after a five minute steep.
Preparation
A robust and tasty breakfast blend. Overall the flavor is good and malty. I don’t car as much for the brisk Ceylon flavor at the end. I used to work at an office with Ceylon tea bags and I unfortunately burnt myself out on that kind of tea. But the Assam in there makes it bearable, even enjoyable with a little honey and half and half.
