600 mL of 96 deg water with 1 tsp leaf
Steep 1: 2 minutes
Light flavour of toasty, hay, dried grass, and root vegetables.
Steep 2: 4 minutes
The flavour strongly resembles unseasoned potato chips. Slightly sweet, no salt, flavours of vegetable broth, canned peas, dried lichen, toasted chickpeas, and toasted green tea. This is an extremely interesting herbal. It is quite savoury, but since it is also sweet, toasty (not roasted/smokey), and woody, it is enjoyable as a beverage.
Steep 3: 3 minutes
A lot of woody flavours, but not pine/sap. More like dried wood shavings. Liquor is much darker in colour (previously light tan, now moderate amber) and more flavourful. It tastes like fries or those potato rings (Hula Hoops Potato Crisps). It is really interesting. I have mixed feelings about this tea. Will post another tasting note when I’ve brewed a few more pots. I might be caught up on the main flavours and missing a lot of subtitles. I tend to find new flavours in teas once I’m familiar with them.
