More leaf helps. I’ll probably push it to 10g/140ml next time.

One of the better blacks from the Tea Runners stash I traded for. Some creamy cocoa and malt notes, decent brekky tea. I wouldn’t buy it again, but it didn’t ping my regret module like some of these TRs have.

Distinct sweetness on the nose. Molasses, maybe. Marine and somewhat surprising mineral elements on the lid of my pot. No storage, funk, wood, dirt, or camphor. I wouldn’t go so far as to call this traditionally mossy or forest floory, but there is something reminiscent of dried Spanish moss, the stringy-puffy stuff that’s used by florists. The body appears thickish on the pour, but ends up feeling rather thin. Not apparently sweet in the mouth — more a suggestion in the smell. Easy, unchallenging, a little boring. Nice enough feels and spread in the body.
