Martin sent a beautiful little packet of these leaves my way—the kind that are so long you can’t get them on a spoon properly, so you have to guess at proportions just a bit. With new-to-me teas, I tend to err on the side of “don’t overdo it,” so my first cup of these beauties was a touch on the light side, but still malty and sweet.
I’m convinced that this will hold up well to longer and slightly more heavy-handed treatment.

Ehh, I had it yesterday too and I thought I have overleafed; but actually, nope. I think it is light tea on its own.
I did kind of a sloppy grandpa steep today: popped in some new leaves with the old ones from yesterday, steeped a cup, and iced it down. The flavor still wasn’t overly strong, but it held up well.
