Still working my way through my BF W2T samples and this is today’s pick. Been getting a nice aroma from the sample bag, so I’ve been looking forward to this, though I pretty much have said that about every sample. Very easily separated 7g off of this sample chunk and spent a few seconds looking around for my strainer, so I ended up skipping the wash and just drinking from the start.
I’m getting fruity, floral, herbaceous and hay in the first steep. Smooth with a bit of viscosity. More grass and hay in the second steep, with the florals lingering at the end. Some appreciable bitterness and astringency start to emerge in steep three.
Sipped on this throughout the morning until the flavors started to fade with flash steeps, at which point I was still left with a nice mouthfeel to enjoy. The leaves are still giving off plenty of aroma, so I’m going to let them rest a while and then I will probably revisit them tomorrow.
Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Floral, Grass, Hay, Herbaceous, Sweet, Thick
