I cold brewed it for almost a day this time. It tastes much closer to its dry aroma this way than it has any time I’ve brewed it hot, but I think I left it too long.

Flavors: Bitter, Dark Chocolate, Roasted, Wood

That’s interesting. I really liked how this tea tasted for me but I liked the dry leaf smell even more. I will certainly try your method.

I liked it at first, but got bored quickly. It’s not very complex and is mostly just aromatic. I’m experimenting with reroasting it now and really like the results so far.

Bio

I mostly drink roasted oolongs, Chinese black tea, Darjeeling, and occasionally sheng puerh, aged white tea, or Japanese green tea. Assam, Ceylon, etc., don’t interest me much, and I don’t like flavored tea except Earl Grey and chai.

I don’t think rating tea is very helpful when everyone rates on a different scale and looks for different things in tea, so I will probably never rate anything I review.

Aside from tea, I also like single origin coffee, wine, and craft beer. Other interests include listening to and making music, music-related electronics, sci-fi and fantasy, writing, and cooking.
