I am still behind. I am glad I finished the day though; there was rarely time for 2 cups. But I managed it.
This tea looks visually very nice. Lots of golden needles, some black ones and smells wonderfully. I regret I didn’t had time to brew it at work (on time), because I believe, based on my experience today with western brewing; that it could survive grandpa brewing.
Today late afternoon/early evening sessions were wonderful and I am glad I had two.
I couldn’t point out the aroma when sniffing first steep, I thought about honey but my brother disagreed. But it was familiar and so cozy.
When sipped, there were lots of flavours and I am not able to pin them all. But wihout any more ado, here are a few that comes to mind when drinking second steep: bread, freshly baked bread or bread crust; yams; malt; cocoa and chocolate — that goes well to the coconut balls we were making; a little of spicy notes, and again, I do notice that honey-ish note, especially when a little colder.
High chances to buy a bigger pouch of this.
