Interesting enough stuff, which survived my initial haphazard distracted-by-baking brewing without too much loss of character. The predominating flavor is barley, with a floral grace note. The end is what’s fun and makes this worth revisiting, in my opinion. There’s a taste of green grapes and green apples that advances into genuine lemon before it fades. This grew stronger over a long, low steeping, achieved by tossing the leaves in my Saddler with no basket. I found the resteep dull.
I didn’t brew this the way Verdant recommends so I reckon I’ll try it their way next time. I suppose it is aged and thus can handle more heat than a young oolong.
