1/24/14 Afternoon cuppa. 3g/6oz/212F/4min. First impressions. Lovely pepper scented leaf in the bag, brewed a nice gold/dark amber. Not really a fair tasting for this tea though – I’m in a lousy mood, feeling physically whomped, and just can’t give this the attention and thought it deserves.

Even with all that — it’s a very nice cuppa, is helping lift my mood, and I definitely look forward to tasting it again in a few days, and trying out the different brew styles with it.

Second steep of these leaves 5min/212F was also good, and the leaves still look and smell like there’s a lot left in them.

Third steep I accidentally poured 12oz of water instead of 6. I let it steep six minutes — this brew is fantastic! Maybe my mood is finally picking up, but I am surprised about how delicious this steep is.
