Since Laurent and Sophie sent me some more of this, I decided to try it again at work. This just isn’t the tea for me. I tried it at 3 minutes this time and it was less apple cider vinegar-ish, but the acid taste was still there. It did however mellow as it cooled, which makes me think a cold steep might work well for this one. The rose did become more prominent with a shorter steep, so it was sweeter than the last time I had it. Base was smooth and malty.
I will take this off your hands for you :p
It’s a really small sample, but if you’d like I can drop it in the mail for you. Just PM your address to me. :-)
Send me your address! I have quite a bit of this one left still!
