Sipdown – backlog
Depending on the ball brewed, this tea gave a range of flavors – some good and bad. I had a little bit of a hard time with the tea, but it ended on a good note when I landed on the correct brewing parameters. I did like the easy serving size ;)
At 212F, for 3 min: honey, sweet. It wanted to go for more steeps than I wanted to.
At 212F, using gaiwan: hay sweet, thick, floral aftertaste, woody & drier with longer steeps. I still had some dry leaf after 6 steeps. I needed to break the ball up more or give it a longer rest. This ball had a lot to give.
Flavors: Drying, Floral, Hay, Honey, Sweet, Thick, Wood
