Dry Leaf: Trichomes flung out of the bag into my face. If you’re prone to sneeze, this is the tea for you! While I was able to get close to the tea leaves, despite the dust, they had a delightful vegetal aroma (garden greens/soil).
1st Steep: Broccoli, buttery, & viscous mouthfeel.
2nd Steep: Bitter, collard greens, Brussel sprouts, & butter mixed vegetables.
3rd steep: The same as the second infusion, but a little more bitterness.
4th steep: Progressively more bitter.
The notes end there, but I added, “Stopped at the 8th steep. Not much change to the leaf, with the exception of losing most of the bitterness at the 7th infusion, and all flavor at 8th infusion.”
