Another Fjellrev sample and, I believe, my third Harney experience (first loose leaf H&S blend, the others were sachets).
It smells mostly like coconut. I expected there to be something floral to it (I mistook the amaranth petals for pieces of rose) and am pleasantly surprised to realize that the petals were merely to prettyfy the blend.
I only steeped it for 2min30sec in 175F water, but it’s kind of bitter. Makes me think there’s probably darjeeling in the base and I’m really not a darjeeling fan.
There’s a faint sweet aftertaste, but I’m not really getting coconut or chocolate, just generic sweet.
I have enough left for a cup or two, so I might play around and make a latte out of it next time and see if that makes any difference. I’m all out of milky stuff or i’d add a splash to this cup and see what happens.
Thanks Fjellrev for the sample!
