ADVENT DAY 6, tea 1/3
Today I just did completely different line-up of the teas. And brought this to the office, as it is like a tea bag and I thought that it would be great in huge mug that I have there.
And it seems that those rods are quite widespread, as Alistair from What-cha offers them, The Steeping Room as well as Rakkasan; and I am pretty sure I saw them elsewhere too. And I am pretty sure they are from same source, just bought from different vendors.
After explanation to my co-worker what I actually steep; I could drink a very malty (almost beer-y, I mean “polotmavý” style) hot liquor that was warming me inside greatly, with very smooth and round taste with long mouthfeel; and slight woody (oak) taste.
Truly wonderful and easy going tea, though I had a bit higher expectations. I wonder because of “Wild” in the name, or just expected some wow effect in flavors or scents… this one wasn’t vanilla rod, which is also offered. Maybe that was missing :)
