The Purrfect Cup Sent me this – thanks a million!

This has almost a fruity and honey yet grainy type taste to it – it’s very different than I expected but quite pleasant.

I do agree with Rumpus Parable that there is a Zucchini type flavor to it as well! This is an interesting and tasty cuppa!

This has a greenish, hayish, honeyish scent. Hard to pinpoint but very pleasant.

The taste is also a mix of these. The main flavor is quite green…reminds of spinach or zucchini, but not as heavy. Then there’s the dry, warm, beige taste of hay swirling into the sip after a while. A faint sweetness on the front of the tongue.

The finish is long with the green flavor.

Made at 185 degrees and 2:30 minutes.
