Another tea from the Chicago Tea Festival. These guys are fun to talk to. Unfortunately, whoever was walking around taking pictures caught my face in an extremely weird angle and pose while talking to them.
Anyway… a bird got stuck in my bunny netting, and it smelled awful. I’m taking a timeout to drink some tea.
Dry aroma: There is a hint of something, but it is far too faint to really give it a name.
Rinse: Old wood house (1800s) and charcoal
Flavor: 1800s wooden house. Cream of wheat. Charcoal. When steeped longer, the charcoal notes really punch you in the face. There are also notes of wet wood after a fire.
Mouthfeel: Very smooth with less time. On longer steepings, there is some astringency that hits with an almost acidic type of feel. (Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it seems, but that is my best way to describe it.)
Aroma cup: What is going on in here? It’s like dark red berries are having a bonfire. Not quite cherry but more like a currant perhaps? I want to travel more just so I can smell all the things.
Wet Leaf: Musty 1800s house. A bit of water damage. Slight fruity with charcoal.
