An Ode to Tea challenge – M
Not a sipdown but I have never written a note for this! It’s a couple years old now. But it always didn’t taste very distinct to me… the leaves look odd, like if tea leaves had been stubble shaved or something. Never thought this with any other tea before. Part gold, part black. The flavor is always so mild for an assam. Almost like water? The brew looks dark enough to have some flavor there. When the cup cooled, I was actually tasting lemon which seemed odd, but the second steep tasted like lemon as well, so it wasn’t just an off sip! A bit brisk, but I went with a longer steep than I should have. Also, tomato soup which is the usual for black teas for me recently. Second steep is heavy on the bakey cinnamon dessert flavor which is new and interesting. Otherwise, it tastes like assam.
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoon for full mug // 21 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep
Also, if anyone is looking for a kooky fun show, my new favorite is BIRDGIRL.. especially a fan of Bird Cat! It’s been going about a month now.
