I started this steep later than I planned. I was hoping to get to this after the meeting with the caseworker today, but I had decided to enjoy a different cup of tea.
However, the aroma profile is quite unique. It’s mineral-y, woodsy, and earthy; yet, the flavor has a nice smooth, rich, and nutty taste. The mouthfeel on this tea is nice. It’s light on the flavor after the first few (25 second) steeps, but after I increased the steep time, it had a more solid flavor to it.
I really enjoyed this tea, but on the account that I have to be up early, I’m stopping at 5 steeps, and will continue drinking this tomorrow afternoon. It’ll be a good cup to start the day with, too.
Flavors: Earth, Nutty
