Tight compression of tea. That is a definition of this one.
I managed to get 5 grams for my gaiwan, made quite a long rinse (30+ seconds).

Now, first steep, about 20 seconds I think. Stonefruits, honey… tea on me. I spilled (cold already) on me.

Second one is longer by 10 seconds.
Taste gone stronger, bit more astringency. Bamboo is the strongest taste I think.

Third steep, again 30 seconds.
Tea broke completely, so finally I am getting sweet notes. But in background there are still some bitter notes.

Oh well, how long? 30+ seconds, maybe close to 1 minute! I forgot!
But tea is still good. It does not turned awfully bitter, rather the stone fruit flavours turned out stronger.

And few more steeps, I stopped making any more notes. I am too lazy now. It is almost 10pm.

I knew the first song, but the second was new to me. Great song, enjoyed the video, too! Nice choice on the chocolate.

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
