I brewed this in a 140ml unglazed clay teapot
15, 30, 45, 60, 1m30, 2m, 3m
After a rinse, the scent on the gaiwan lid was really interesting. Fruity, spicy, dark and roasty, so many things going on at once. My first infusion was fruity and sweet, really reminding me of hot chocolate. It’s got a subtle spiciness. In later infusions it starts to give up the roasty/chocolate flavor for for a milder sweetness that’s really nice. This one really does live up to the reviews. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to buy some more of this ;)
Flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Dates, Roasted
