279 Tasting Notes
I’ve been aggressively sipping down samples I got from last year, and this is another one.
Upping my rating a bit. I feel I may have been a little harsh in my opinion when I wrote my first note.
The cinnamon is still near non existent, but the base hasn’t seemed as harsh to me as it did that first time. Its still not really my thing, but its ok.
Sip down
I’ve kept meaning to make more notes, but life has kept getting in the way.
I don’t get the cereal vibe I got the first time. In fact, I only got that the first time I tried it. Since then, I haven’t gotten much of anything honestly. I might be getting a hint of sweetness in the back end of the sip. Or that might just be I still have the taste of toothpaste in my mouth this morning. :)
Overall, glad I tried it but also glad that its now gone.
Sipdown
Tried again. I noticed a lot less of pretty much all of the things I mentioned before.
Just isn’t my thing. That first steep or two before the ball really breaks up are fine. But once they do, I just don’t find any enjoyment. There’s less nuance in the flavor I perceive.
2022 Mini
First couple of steeps were rather mild/delicate while the ball was still pretty compressed. Mouth feel has a nice thickness to it.
By the third steep, everything had broken up and a strong vegetal flavor comes out and its kind of an unpleasant punch you in the face flavor.
Glad its done, will not be rebuying.
