I am really enjoying my new blacks from Verdant. This one is very comforting and delicious to stay in on this very cold day.
Sweet potato and chocolate notes dominate this first steeping. Honey notes weave into the steep as well. I am not sure that the one minute steep was enough for the complex notes to develop as much as I would like. Maybe I will try a longer steep next cup!
I used 2 tsp of leaf.
The second steep for 2 minutes was just as delicious, but maybe a little less chocolate than the first steep.
