Re-steeping. This time I used a timer set for exactly 3 minutes as recommended on the packaging.
Lovely floaty show in the French press again, like watching the old Aquarena Springs mermaid show in San Marcos when I was a child.
Brewed, the buttered-toast aroma is still there but fainter, as I expected. Flavor milder, again as expected, but a bit stronger than I expected. I don’t have much experience with re-steeping so honestly, I expected bleaugh. It’s actually quite pleasant but I don’t think I will try a second time. The toasty flavor is best at the back of my tongue.
I would certainly buy this again.
