76

Trying this again two years after my first tasting, I get a strong, spicy aroma of ginger on the first infusion (194˚F). Tastes good but not as potent as it smells.

Second infusion at 197˚F unfortunately seemed to burn the leaves, pushing it over the edge into bitterness and astringency.

Third infusion was when the seaweed, umami, savoury flavours really came out.

Downgrading my rating to 76.

Flavors: Ginger, Seaweed, Spices, Umami
