Backlog time. Apparently the middle of the night Saturday/Sunday morning is my gongfu session/Steepster sweet spot.
Another tea from the lovely Virginia! I fear that I got lost in the tea and forgot to thank her for all the Butiki teas she sent me, but if you’ve read a review by me of a Butiki tea lately, she’s the facilitator :).
So this tea is dark brown with chunks of dried strawberry and graham cracker-type things. It smells all sweet strawberry and brews up a reddish brown. The taste is all sweet strawberry with a tart kicker, smoothed out by vanilla. Unfortunately, I don’t taste any graham-ness to suggest the crust, but if you like strawberry rhubarb, this tea will bring you joy.
Yes, I remember this tea being pretty spot on with the flavour. And middle of the night gongfu sessions rock!
They do! I would do this every night if it was acceptable to show up at lab after noon.
