56 tasting notes

Iced after third steeping

After 2.5 hours, yields a light green, sweet, peachy, smooth tea. Hints of wet granite, slightly slippery. After sipping for only about 10 more minutes the astringency suddenly returns with a vengeance! Thought it may be due to warming but I quickly strained and iced it which cut this slightly but it remains pretty bitter. Should have strained it sooner but the full leaves were so pretty.

Flavors: Green, Mineral, Peach, Smooth, Sweet

Boiling 8 min or more 5 g 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

I love tea but that’s also true of most liquids. I don’t discriminate: Bagged, full leaf, coffee, beer… If it goes in a cup I’ll probably like it.

I’m a relative newbie to tea and still have a ton to learn. I have a cat who likes to knock brewed pu-erh onto the carpet. I like turtles.
