Lewis & Clarke TTB
Okay, this just sounded interesting. And no one has tried it yet, so I’m exploring uncharted territory! Lol. Visually, it definitely looks like chunks of dried root, similar to dried ginger root or something similar. Dry scent is quite earthy and musty with some similarities to hay or straw. Maybe a bit of bran? There were no instructions regarding steep time or water temperature, so I just went with boiling for 5 minutes, which is what I generally do for herbals.
Brewed, it smells pleasantly roasty and reminds me of sunflower seeds or peanuts in the shell, and maybe bran flakes?
AHHHH I HATE WAITING FOR TEA TO COOL!
Ahem. The taste reminds me of peanut or sunflower seed shells. Somewhat musty, somewhat roasty, a bit woody? Definitely dead-on for sunflower or peanut shells. There’s a bit of similarity to houjicha but with less roast and more wood. Interesting, and not at all unpleasant! And apparently rich in fatty acids! Lol. :)

Me neither, which is why I tried it! :D Hooray for TTBs!
Sounds very interesting. Should try ;)
Interesting, all right. It’ll be one of the few I try!
*first few
You should get some of the little gongfu 30ml teacups. Takes care of the “waiting to cool” problem :P
