1 second rinse with tea infusing temperature water
1 tablespoon for 375 ml
Nice smooth flavour. Molasses-like sweetness. Leathery hints in the background. Lingering sweetness, reminds me of a ginseng-type sweetness.
Second infusion at 2.5 minutes with near-boiling water.
Third infusion at 3.5 minutes with near-boiling water. A lot of flavour seems to be lost by the third infusion.
Thanks to Sil for sharing this with me!

Yay! Another win!
I’m in San Francisco next week. The store is a 10 minute walk from my hotel.
By any chance, any other recommendations?
Thank you.
This is the only one that I’ve tried from them. I think that Sil may have visited the store so she could have some other recommendations.
Steven – the store is pretty small. What i would do is take a look on their website and see which ones interest you. When you go, they are more than willing to let you have a sit and try one of the teas. I picked up this one, their chai and one of their keemun’s since i was fairly new to tea and had zero clue of what i was doing. They’re very helpful and the tins are available to open, smell, examine etc before you buy.
Thanks, Sil!
