A sample from derk and gone! (Sipdown)
5 grams, 85 ml gaiwan, preheated, 78°C water in litre thermos. Combined with chocolate dipped orange as well from derk.
This is floral. Good for hot days. As today it is. Again temperatures attacking 30 °C in shadow. God bless that we bought awning last year.
1st steep
Aroma of wet leaf is full of fruit tree flowers! In taste it is very floral, bit of hay; white grapes skins, fruit notes (could not pick any though). NICE
Ate candied orange, I expected it sweeter than it actaully was. I enjoyed it. Good dark chocolate used too.
2nd steep
Fruity, sweet. Velvety smooth in palate.
3rd
I like those short steeps. Now it is peachy. Fuzzy in taste as well.
4th
Mellow, refreshing.
I lose my desriptors. It is just great you know.
5th
Fruity with floral notes. Fruit tree flowers.
6th
Good, good…
have I said it’s great?
I do not know how many steeps I made. Just enjoying it!
Flavors: Floral, Fruit Tree Flowers, Fruity, Grapes, Hay, Melon
I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! This has been my afterwork tea brewed western style this past week. It makes me feel so light-hearted :)
I can imagine, it is so light yet flavourful. At least I know what to look for when I will make another order :)
