I tried to wait till the kids went down for a nap till I made this again. But the burnt chocolate barley flavor was calling out to me and I made it right after breakfast. I used the western method per many suggestions. Dude, I totally get the hype over this. I almost wish I didn’t so that I could be sole contrarian, but not a chance. This is truly one of a kind. I love the barley flavor. Makes me think of a good Ale. I love that I’m not even tempted to add anything to this. And I add something to nearly all black tea. There’s absolutely nothing that could make this any better. I’m definitely with the crowd on this one.
This is You :-D

I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.
I joined steepster in Feb 2013 and it’s crazy how much my tastes have changed since joining. Before, I liked cream and honey in all teas and loved mostly dessert blacks. Now I almost rarely drink them, but enjoy them from time to time. What I love more than anything are straight rich black teas, Fujian, Laoshan, Rizhao, etc… I also love pretty much any black tea that the little leaf hoppers have gotten their teeth on.
I’m still not too into the green/white/oolong varieties. I keep trying to but my tastes are evolving pretty slowly on that front.
Overall, I just enjoy tea. Something about it that just settles me.
