Another pick from the Steepster Select box.

Pretty standard. Was expecting more of a coffee/bitter brew, but was pleasantly surprised by what seems as a normal breakfast tea. A little astringent, but not too overbearing. I’m getting more of a note of wood than any fruit. The after taste at the back of my tongue is slightly reminiscent of grape skin…a little tart/bitter, but not too fruity. I’m not picking up on the grapes though. Doesn’t need milk or sugar, as it is pleasant on its own, but I will try a little sweetener to see if any more notes come out…

1 sugar in the raw packet seems to make it taste of sweetened wood (huh?) with the slightest note of chocolate toward the tail end. But that might just be the natural molasses in the sugar cane.

Preparation
Boiling 2 min, 30 sec 3 tsp 24 OZ / 709 ML

Just your Average-Jake. I love running, tea, cigars, music, and an assortment of other things. I enjoy golfing, fishing, and wood-working though I’m not exceptional at any of those.

Jack of all trades, master of none…
