This tea has flowers that you can watch open while you steep it. That’s really fun — and an inkling of what’s to come.
This is a super foresty and earthy blend. At first sip, I didn’t care for it. I was like “am I eating dandelions out of my front yard? Am I a rabbit?” (No. But I am a philistine.)
But as it’s cooled, I really like the deeper notes in here. It’s a claylike*, round taste that I appreciate.
*Disclaimer: I don’t eat a lot of clay, but it’s what I imagine clay would taste like. And, oddly, “clay” is a flavor you can pick below. So I am not the only person that’s like “it’s, you know, a pottery-in-progress kind of taste.”
As I approach the bottom of the cup, I’m really coming around. This isn’t something I would have picked out, but I’m glad I tried it.
I’m going to take this home and try steeping it before bed sometime. I think it would be a nice evening tea. As, I suppose, one would expect from something called “Moonlight Sonata.”
Flavors: Clay, Dandelion, Dirt, Flowers, Grass, Spices

That stuff actually keeps me up. Did you brew it Western or Gong Fu?
Daylon, I think that my blood is mostly caffeine, so it’s a wash. I brewed it with a gravity steeper. I think that counts as Western style. I almost never re-steep.
Western to me is anything longer than two minutes with less than one tea spoon of leaves per eight ounces lol.
I tend to over-leaf and over-steep for a super rich flavor, but yep, I’m Western style, basically.
