This past weekend, 9/12-13/25, I had the pleasure of finally meeting Terry (and his wife) and Kurt of Ohio Tea Company. They are wonderful people, and I truly appreciate them for donating matcha to the presentation that I did on Saturday. Terry gave this to me as a gift. Thank you, Terry. I really appreciate having a cuppa in the morning like this!
Wet Leaf: Woody, weet wood,
Flavor: A perfect, unassuming black tea for those mornings when you want to wake up and want to drink without wanting to think. Brisk. slight malty, resin, dark wood.
Mouth feel: First steep was slightly astringent (probably due to less steep time), and then I steeped much longer on the second infusion, so now it’s a lovely punch in the face astringency.
I would say this is a good English Breakfast, but not in my top ranking.
