Grandpa Style!
This is one of the teas that I drank yesterday as part of my “Teas I Drink In a Day” round up and, to be perfectly honest, I was very disappointed in it. The description of it being like tomato soup is so interesting and it made me feel like this was either going to be thick and umami rich or have, like, an interesting balance between sweet, tangy, and savory notes. Just, like, something distinct. But instead I found it rather generically sweet and malty tasting and just a bit of an overall let down? It wasn’t unpleasant tasting, but somewhat flat and unexciting?
Maybe this just isn’t the best method to brew it. So, I’ll try and reserve judgement and keep a fresh and open mint until I can steep it gongfu…
