Update
Went for more leaf this time around with great results. Smoothness that comes with age a decent body but a very brief sweetness was something I had not tasted prior. Even though it was faint and short lived, it was a darker fruity (date, currant, jam) sweetness with a preserve-like tartness that made for an interesting brew. Getting the hang of this tea…. of course right I tried to overbrew it to bring out some bitterness but ended up with a smokiness I had not tasted before. So still learning the ins/outs of this guy but happy with my blind buy of a cake for the right price.
Next time I will just KISS keep it simple stupid, g/10ml and <20s short steepings
Flavors: Black Currant, Jam, Smooth
