Not a particularly insightful tasting note, but I want to mark the sipdown here. I forgot that I wanted to try to gong fu this; instead, I made it to-go so I could drink it while getting my hair done of Friday. Basically one of the worst brewing/tasting methods if you want to give a tea its best chance to win you over. It did serve my needs well, though. Roasty, mineral, cozy vibes for transitional weather.
