additional notes:  Now how am I the only one to write a tasting note for this one?  Seven years ago? Hmm.  This was quite good!  I have almost finished it (samples).  I used half of one sample this time around.  The first steep was WAY too weak, but that was entirely my fault (cooler water), and the bit of cake was hardly unravelled.  The second steep was much richer — bread, coffee, very sweet, almost a mouth numbing or buzzy mouth quality to it (or probably lingering effects of walking in the brisk wind while it’s barely double digit temps…)   Steeps two and three, also delicious.  NO negative characteristics here.  It’s quite a good cake and Teavivre is still selling it, if anyone (other than me!) would like to try it.  It’s $56.90 right now for a 357gram cake.  Pretty reasonable considering it’s from 2011.   Odd that my review is missing from Teavivre’s site though, and there are only four other reviews, so it’s not just a steepster problem low on reviews….
