starting off with a quick 5s wash. The smell is an absolutely wonderful mixture of honey, steamed buns, walnut, vanilla, and cocoa. The color looks of a ‘deep honey’.
I put about 4g of leaves in around 200 F water.
Infusion times were as follows: 7s, 9s, 12s, 20s, 30s, 45s, 1min30s, 3min
The first couple steeps keep a fulfilling steam bun, vanilla, and honey taste. The third steep had a slight ‘darker’, cocoa like hint to it. Later steeps headed towards being more mild in nature while keeping the steam bun, vanilla, honey trinity taste stable and upfront. Latest steeps get quite smooth and a little malty, but that depends on steep time.
Quite a pleasant tea whose flavour tastes the same as the tea smells. It is consistent throughout the session and is one of my go-to teas at the moment.
Flavors: Cocoa, Honey, Roasted, Vanilla
