one rinse, let the leaves rest some minutes, flash steeps at the start.

first few steeps of this made me feel relaxed, warm, cozy, soft. very, very nice. gaiwan lid smelled delicious — warm spiced baking type smells, well rounded out with some deeper notes. stood around sniffing the lid for quite some time. the tea itself had a nice feel in the mouth while tasting fairly light, but still warm and soft, with some sweetness and maybe fruit. after a handful of steeps it started to taper into a more astringent tea that wasn’t bad, just not as exciting as the start. pretty sure i’m going to pick up more of this if i get the chance.
