Did like 2.5 teaspoons for my cup this morning. Seriously, people. Seriously.
I think I’ve reviewed this before, but I don’t think I ever got the flavor quite present enough. Once you figure out the Overleaf The Heck Out of Adagio Teas to Make Them Taste Like Anything game, this is not a bad tea. I was expecting something maltier and darker, but it’s actually a little earthy. Slightly astringent, but that could possibly get fixed with a shorter steep time (I didn’t time mine exactly, but it was around 4 -5 min.) The aroma reminds me of black dragon pearls. The taste less so, but it’s fairly enjoyable.
Worth a try but not a restock; flavor not distinctive enough and too much leafage required.
