pencil shaving rose first comes to mind. you know that woody kind of taste of the end of a pencil crayon? seems to permeate the entire flavour. this is my first taste of this tea. maybe i’ll like it better as it cools.//
a few minutes later … still strongly tastes like pencil crayon shavings. the sweet is coming out a tad more. the base tea is a tad bitter. i steeped for 4 mins; perhaps i should have steeped for only 3. the package recommended 4-5.

I’ve never heard that descriptor used before, but I can 100% imagine exactly the smell/taste!! I love it!
heh. i have a very weird way of describing things. i once said a wine tasted like bubble gum to a group of wine enthusiasts. they weren’t impressed.
