wet: light fruit, smoky
1. soft woody sour. some background YQH taste. sweet cherry in finish, bitter taste when cooled a bit. same strange almost alcohol aspect as the CWS recently. slowed thoughts and motions.
2. similar. soft texture, woody, bitter, some storage.
I dropped after a few more steeps of similar notes about the texture in every steep because i was running late to something lol. Obviously have favorable thoughts on that aspect and wish I had a bit more time to sit with it. Never really reach for these, so it’s been a few years. Had tea with someone else recently and was reminded of the importance of pacing in evaluating and just waiting a bit between steeps. Have been used to chaining steeps in my routine drinking and so was often feeling overwhelmed and not picking up things as a result.
