I don’t recall seeing Bhakanje either. But the leaves are very nice!
I prepared this tea also gongfu, using all 5 grams in 100 ml. Steeps were 20/30/40/50 and a few longer ones.
In a first steep I got old-well-known Nepalese terroir aromas, those being woody, but also very aromatic herbals, malts (a little like dark, roasted malts) and tannins. Considering that I haven’t made any rinse, this looks good!
Second steep was very malty and adds baked bread notes, which are extremely pleasing to me. There is a little dryness, but nothing too much. I haven’t noticed that much of herbals and florals as Leafhopper, but in the major flavours we noticed the same.
Following steeps were pretty much similar as others, always with some note being more dominant and others were weaker. I would not consider it very drying, but I was drinking it rather fast, that’s true.
I really like this one. But I am a little biased towards Nepalese teas, so that’s why. But it is also just a delicious tea. I will definitely keep this one in my wishlist.
Note: As I go tomorrow for 3 days long business trip, I won’t post any new notes. It will be hard to catch up, but hopefully I can make it!

Travel safe!
Yes, today’s tea was a good one. Have a safe trip!
Where will you be traveling?
I went back to German facility I was in last year! It is about 450 km (280 mi) away; driving myself all the time, though I had 3 my colleagues with me. It was worth it, however, I am rather tired today. Luckily, as I had a doctor appointment, I could sleep longer and as well as I don’t have to go to the office at all. however, as always, there is something to deal with remotely too!
