2957 Tasting Notes
I did 3 steeps using 1.5 tsp leaf and 300 mL hot water in a gong-fu teapot
Steep 1: 1 minute – nice deep roasted flavour, bran, grain
Steep 2: 2 min – toasted rice, raisin, molasses
Steep 3: 2 min – more of the same, very smooth each steep, main note is roasted oolong with some fruity notes, slightly sweet in the aftertaste
-overall fairly smooth
Flavors: Molasses, Raisins, Roasted, Smooth, Toasted Rice, Toasty
Preparation

I got a turtle chocolate vibe from this. (here in western Canada we have a chocolate shop called Purdy’s that has the world’s best version of a turtle with high quality milk or dark chocolate, salted pecans, and amazing caramel. This is what I think of when I consider chocolate/caramel/pecans, but I suppose Turtles are a well-recognised brand in the US)
-dark chocolate and cocoa
-very nutty pecan flavour
-the second and third steep had more sweetness to them
-a complex base made from a bunch of teas that go very well together
Flavors: Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Nuts, Nutty, Pecan, Sweet, Tannin
Preparation
Woah, this tastes like a spa. It is pretty tasty (but medicinal). Coconut and lemongrass are prominent at first, and then some herbs like eucalyptus, ginger, cardamom, and mint come out in the aftertaste. Great hot or iced.
Flavors: Cardamom, Coconut, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Herbs, Lemongrass, Medicinal, Mint
