GGTTB6 sample that I removed to try later. I used about 3/4 of a teaspoon because I wanted to make sure there was enough for others to try too. I brew small pots of tea most of the time anyway.
Looseleaf: Beautiful orange sandlewood contrasted against dark black tea.
Steep 1: Used 1 tsp leaf in 250 mL hot water
Very deep and rich. Minerals, cocoa, leather? not exactly smoke, more like tanned leather, lots of tannins, but never bitter or tannic. Extremely complex and flavourful.
Steep 2: 250mL hot (90 deg C water)
Dark chocolate, the smell of tobacco cigars and incense, dark/old wood like from a really old antique shelf.
Steep 3: "
More woody than the previous steeps, quite Earthy tones (not like wet soil, more like dry decayed wood, tanned leather, minerals in rich cocoa powder). Less rich and more Earthy.
Yet another mind blowing blends from LP. I’ve never had anything quite like this.
Flavors: Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Dark Wood, Decayed Wood, Earth, Leather, Mineral, Tannin, Tobacco, Wood
