From puerh plus TTB:
1st steep: stone fruit
2nd: a light floral taste
3rd: brewed a dark green gold color, the only tasting notes I have are “liquid gold”…not sure what I was thinking there.
4th: brewed an orange color, slight bit of drying bitterness here
The drying effect lasted through the next couple of steeps. Then it sweetened up while gradually fading away…
Likes: Jasmin, citrus, blackcurrants, Japanese greens
Dislikes: Chamomile, lotus, “dessert” teas
Curious: pu erh, chocolate, US tea
Drinking habits: No milk or sugar unless masala chai. At least one hot cup a day and two iced.
