4th steep:
Interesting. The buttery note from the first steep isn’t there anymore, which is a little disappointing, but the strong and slightly bitter grassiness I noticed in the second steep isn’t either. It’s much more mellow now, and quite enjoyable. I think that with these leaves the first steep will always be best, but the 4th wasn’t bad. Given the price of this tea it’s nice that I can drink it all day without using up too much of it.
I find this tea very hard to describe. I can’t compare it to any green or an oolong tea I’ve had, and I’m having an incredibly difficult time coming up with words to explain the flavour. This tea is utterly puzzling to me, but definitely worth a try if you ever get the opportunity.
