i had my first CTC tea today! i had two of them and this one was my immediate favorite.
i feel like i say i’m ‘putting something on my shopping list’ often. and kinda mostly mean it.
but for this tea i entirely mean it. i’m a person who likes lapsang. and puerh. and dark funk teas. for example i’m a stout beer gal. i like it strong and when it bites back. not exclusively. but i think it says something about my preferences. and this tea was like smooth melty blackness.
brew time 1 min? not for me. if i remember correctly, i steeped for 2.
thank you Sil!
