So I finally got myself some new teas, and this is the first batch. It’s kind of funny, because now I realize two things about this. One, I have long been making my tea with about 25 extra milliliters per cup, and two I completely misbrewed this cup. Still it was a wonderful happy accident. I brewed this tea at ten seconds for my first and current cup, having read the instructions for a different tea. YET! This tea came alive in what should have only been the “rinse” steeping. Full body already, very pale yellow/brown color to the liquor, and a taste that reminds me of the smell of fallen leaves in autumn. No, seriously, it has that wet earthy kind of flavor. Granted this is a misbrew, technically, it is really delicious. As I’m tasting it even now there is something almost sorrel-like at the back of the tongue. I can’t wait to drink more of this today.
