2/2/14 Evening tea. 5g/8oz/185F?/4 min. I think my water might have been too hot. This tea had a rich toasted wheat/cinnamon/honey aroma. Very dark oolongy aroma. The taste was more flat though, an upfront tannic astringency that I do associate with Indian teas. An undertone taste of vanilla came out as it cooled. An enjoyable enough cup, a touch on the bitter side. I look forward to trying it again when I’ve had the chance to spend more time with Indian teas and have better context for it.
