dug this out of ancient storage/abandonment, and took a while digging through e-mail receipts to figure out what i had this whole canister of, from years ago… :P
dry leaf smelled rich-dried-fruity and spicy, but still a bit shou-y, which is kinda what i felt like this morning.
it’s very nice! i was a bit dubious, given that i’d essentially ignored it in my house for a few years. early steeps are sweet with a good amount of rounded flavours; maybe baked goods? some warm spices. slight damp undertone coming out but nothing crazy; just enough to give it an edge. very cozy, like warm wood. perfect for this cool not-yet-autumn-but-it-feels-like-it-darnit morning.
