Backlog:
Drank this as a pour over at Bloom Coffee Roasters.
This seems like a simple blend: Saigon cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorn, and lemongrass. I also happen to go nuts over those ingredients, and I am glad this was a simple herbal. The spices were all very fresh and the cinnamon was mouth-coating and warming. The peppercorn added a much needed kick in the aftertaste, and the lemongrass smoothed the rest out with a slight sweetness. Is it weird that I think lemongrass is smooth?
It’s frickin’ obvious that this is a foodie’s herbal, but I personally enjoyed it. I would probably rate it around an 85 or higher, but I have the bad tendencies to do one night stands with herbal teas. I have a great experience with them when I’m in the mood, sloppy seconds if they suck, and then I forget them altogether. If only my actual love life were as promiscuous.
