As of now, this tea is wretchedly terrible. Sure it was $8, but either the cake or the maocha was stored improperly. I haven’t given up on it yet, as I’m hoping the burnt-tire, rotting vegetable material scent and flavor will dissipate with time. But this cake may be heading for the compost pile in the future.
I went with 195DEGF and short infusions to start.
Mild, unoffensive, but packed with flavor. It’s mellow on the body and follows up with a pleasant drying/astringent mouthfeel. The finish is medium, only the sensation lingers on the tongue.
The flavors are one-dimensional to me but it does offer an enjoyable experience as a whole. It feels like the leaves have plenty of legs. It was stored a little dry but is otherwise tasty.
Oh no!! :-(
Yikes. Burnt tire is utterly unappealing.
