First off I do not know what flush this was picked or what year.
But if I were to guess it would most likely be either 2016 first or second flush or it could be that this is indeed the 2017 flush.
I don’t drink straight up black teas like this often. Mainly because most people who drink them add milk and or sugar and I do not tend to do that. Except this time.
After tasting it every minute while steeping. I decided 4 minutes was prime. It screams put milk in me. It has a bit of a bitterness to it along with the earthy forest flavors that make it seem prime for a spot of milk.
And so…. I added some after my initial plain cup. Of course because I’ve only added milk a handful of times… I messed up.
Too much almond milk. Now it’s more like a latte. After steeping the leaves directly in the almond milk for a bit longer it now seems better.
Quite tasty actual. It helps bring out some of the nutty and wet earth notes and mellows out the bitterness.
Here’s the scoop!
