I decided I’d give this tea a trial by fire. So I steeped 100 ml for 6 minutes at 95 C. The taste? Wonderful. The negative, the tea states that it is a genmaicha but I do not get any of the traditional genmaicha notes, other than a generic’roasted’ taste. But that is not a bad thing at all. There is a beer like maltiness to this tea, almost like a strong ale. The dark chocolate notes dominate and meld beautifully with the roasty malty flavours. This is a triumph of a tea. I really enjoy it steeped for this amount of time, even though Verdant tea recommends 4 oz for 30 seconds …

So in closing. Roasted beer flavoured chocolate tea … when steeped for 6 minutes with 100 ml of water.
