I believe I have a sample of the Autumn 2019 version from Eelong (correct me if I am wrong), but otherwise, I am in full agreement with the other review I see for this: golden malty madness. Absolutely delicious. First steep made me hold my mouth the way you do when you taste a teaspoon of raw cocoa powder. (What, you don’t do that? I imbibed Nestle’s Quik like that by the tablespoon when I was a kid.)

Second steep brought out a slightly sweeter note. Going for #3 soon!

Never cocoa powder, but I have been known to sample Ovaltine by the spoon :’)

Guilty of eating packets of Swiss Miss over here.

Sounds great!

The cocoa powder visual hurt my feelings but I can’t judge because I ate ramen noodle seasoning straight from the packet last semester.

Ooh, all that salt would burn!

For some students, that burn imparts the spark of life.

@"Youngest" – I’ve heard of people eating the raw noodles straight from the packet, but never the seasoning! That’s a new one

"Youngest"

@Nattie – LOL. New lows, for sure! I am always surprising myself.

We’ve chased the rabbits way-y-y-y-y-y-y out of the garden here, but I have a buddy who makes a really good Asian salad that has crunched-up dry ramen in it. Tasty!

Nattie

Lol, I think we might have derailed the conversation, sorry! But quite honestly that sounds good, I kind of want to try it! And @"Youngest", you inspired me to lick the empty seasoning packet from my noodles tonight! So much salt!

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
