5.3g, 135 ml zini.
wet: medicinal sweet
rinse smells ginger-y sweet
1. ginger spiced, sweet woody. settling if not sedative. aftertaste like concrete?
2. taste is like unburnt sandalwood incense (tam dao EDP is a good representation of a narrow band of the dry sandalwood smell). also a bit ginger-y when cooled
3. rock, ginger
Was a bit distracted today. steeped a few more times but did not bother to simmer the rest since reflux has been kicking in again even with heicha and ripes.
Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.
As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
