The first steeping tasted very much like peanut, but in a wonderfully savory way. The color was golden brown and very pleasant. The second steeping tasted similar, but more muted. The third steeping still had the color, but not much flavor. If this is what roasted buckwheat tea tastes like, I’m a big fan!
Flavors: Peanut
I started as a coffee drinker who appreciated tea. I mainly drank a few flavored bagged teas (and of course, Southern sweet iced tea). I pull out the Throat Coat and Breathe Easy when I’m sick, but aside from that, teas had never been a daily part of my life. However, my sister has exposed me to a broader range of flavors, and to loose teas, which was good when coffee started bothering me and I needed a new source for warm cups of caffeine delivery systems. I mainly drink English breakfast teas these days, but occasionally explore some others. Earthy teas that are low in bitterness are my preference, and I tend to avoid fruity teas in general, with a few exceptions.
