i was super excited when i got it yesterday. the tin is so fun, sunny and looks like spring. i found horse head finger puppet and for some reason i felt very happy like a child.
1tsp 195F 200ml pot 1min produced very rich cup of tea. golden brown in color, bready, molasses, tastes like cocoa, not too sweet.
2nd steep @2min i wanted to add 1 tsp brown sugar to see how flavors would change. it produced very satisfying cup of tea of melted dark chocolate. i like it either way
3rd steep @3min a little less flavor but still dark and strong. no sugar
Flavors: Bread, Cocoa, Malt, Molasses

3rd steep is so-so,maybe i should try shorter steeps
i think i’m going to make it an A&D day and try this one and red-tailed hawk next. it will be fun to compare notes!
I dont have red-tailed hawk ;( i was thinking to pick it at NYC festival. I always like to read your notes. last night i ordered some samples from ATR because of free shipping. I was reading your notes;)
Sounds like a nice one! I’d recommend shorter steeps, you can balance it out by adding a bit more tea (so you don’t get weak steeps). :)
It is very nice. Yes I will do shorter steeps. Thanks for recommending to add more leaves
