I found a sample of this one bit I am pretty sure i have a bag of cubes aging away nicely somewhere as well.
It is an unusually hot November, with just a cool down in the evenings. I made this as a morning cup first, and then resteeped so e for the fridge. It came out super dark even though the carafe was holding steeps 2 and 3. Then I tossed the leaves in another carafe and added water for it to cold steep in the fridge, so in all I have nearly 3/4 of a gallon of tea from one cube.
It is very earthy and good, just as shu ought to be. It really hangs in there for resteeps and keeps giving. This is more barn with musty breath of hay and not too much of the manure scent. It is a very nice shu. More like the scent after I water the shelves of plants in the east window. Petrichor.
If it weren’t for you and derk, my flyover country farm girl vocabular would never have included the word petrichor. I’m smelling it now as I type!
I love it so much!
