It was maybe a mistake to store this with a bunch of other flavoured teas, I think it took in some of the scents/flavours from the others.

I did a western brewing of this with 650 mL boiling water and ~1 tsp of leaf. I did make sure I got a marshmallow, however I can’t taste marshmallow at all. I wish there was a stronger marshmallow flavour (mallow root, maybe?) The liquid turned out to brew very light, but was still flavourful. The base tastes like a black or oxidized oolong. There are faint hints of cocoa, but no chile peppers or strong dark chocolate. I’m going to try this using gong fu method and see if there are other flavours coming out in later steeps. But what I do get in this cup is a malty/milk

Flavors: Cocoa, Drying, Malt, Sweet, Tannin

Profile

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
