Vital Tea Leaf

After six or seven steeps, I think this is done for now. It was a delicious session, though!

I needed something a bit darker and stronger than the Royal Pu’erh from Vital Leaf, so steep one for this is a go!

Two more and done. They really were not very strong.

Hmmm, the third…not strong as I remember.

Darker second steep, richer flavors.

First steep is not terribly strong, but it carries a characteristic smoothness, which verges on oily yet is not oily at the same time.

Just the morning pot. Or is that “potta” to coincide with cuppa? Either way, it was/is one of those mornings where one cup will not do, so four were made.

The sweetnessa and juiciness from the lychee juice is fantastic.

Three or four steeps later…

Up hours before the sun; Lychee black tea carrying me on.
