This is as well from White Antlers and again same pouch as derk had.
The pouch looks very pretty! But using ounces and Fahrenheit was bit tricky. Also, what is one tablespoon? It was remaining amount of tea there, based on my own tablespoon.
So, measured, tea in my DIY tea bag, measured 190°F and steeped for 3 mintes. The colour of brew haven’t changed much! Very pale yellow. But it indeed brought some aromas to brew! It is meadow-like, bit mushroomy (Meadow mushrooms). On the pouch raw sugarcane is mentioned, but again an aroma I have no experience with.
In taste it is quite sweet for my teeth. Creamy, as derk notices, I think I can imagine corn-notes, overall again floral notes too. It is mouth-coating though and quite well, bit like fuzzy as well. As it cools down, it becomes more earthy, but mildly. Quite yummy!
2nd steep, as suggested, 5 minutes long.
More earthy notes, but still quite enjoyable. Bit more on honey side? But enjoyable.
White Antlers and derk thank you both that you have decided to send it to me. It’s very nice tea, mellow. I maybe expected something bit different, but certainly it’s worth trying and again, I will repeat myself, perfectly drinkable. I have no idea how old it is, but seems quite fresh for me.
Flavors: Earth, Floral, Mushrooms
Glad it was to your liking Martin. I can’t remember how old the tea was though I am grateful to derk as courier and both of you for your willingness to try tea that is elderly but still loveable. : )
