Tea swap sample
Unfortunately, I cannot tell you exactly every profile in the flavor due to my inability to properly taste/smell. I did notice a deep mineral flavor, with a hint of charcoal. My wife said it smelled like “burnt popcorn over charcoal” so these flavors/smells are obviously playing on the senses (which I can hardly obtain them through the taste). I didn’t brew this as long as other samples, but I totaled to 8 steeps (5s, 10s, 25s, 30s, 60s, 90s, 90s, 120s). The tea seemed to start heavy and end heavy; the middle of the session was mild/light.I may have liked it less (or more?) if my sinuses weren’t out of control, but it helped relieve some issues considering taste. So, with that said, I can only rate it upon my session today.
Please try it again with clear sinuses, and with water at a full boil :) I’m glad it helped you!
