Herbal, earthy, a little chocolatey… Mm. I need to think more about this tea. In the meantime I’ve had 2 beautiful three-minute infusions (approx 4g leaf in 300ml water) and it has cheered me up greatly this morning… having been unable to get back to sleep after the baby’s 4.30am feed (it’s now nearly 7.30)am I needed something nice, that’s for sure!

This is a very subtle tea, yet rich at the same time… it’s vegetal tasting but I can’t quite decide what vegetable. The buds are beautiful to look at, they are fat and silvery and turn a lovely shade of sagey-green after brewing. I’m on my second infusion, brewing at 2 minute intervals this time.
