First steep: 5g, 80ml, 50C, about a minute
Decided to drink the rest of this sample today, and it came out very different from yesterday’s session! A much sweeter, gentler, creamy flavor, with an umami body and vegetal undertones. Really, the sweetness is the star here.
Second steep: 70ml, 90C, about 20 seconds
Again, the aroma really burst forth in this steep. A mouth-watering blend of sweet and vegetal, and the flavor does not disappoint! Chestnut sweetness, asparagus and umami all in balance, with a bit of bitterness rounding it all out.
Third steep: 90C, about 30 or so seconds
This steep still had a good amount of flavor and was a good end to the session. Forgot to measure the water, just filled to about the same point as before. All in all, I definitely was more impressed with session two of this. Quite good!
Flavors: Asparagus, Bitter, Chestnut, Creamy, Sweet, Umami, Vegetal
