We picked up this new tea from Zingerman’s Deli last week (thanks, Gauri!), here are our thoughts:

A very pleasant nose with a rich malty aroma. Its taste hints at roasted grain and has a touch of sweetness. There’s little astringency and the flavor is long and smooth with a clean finish. It has a full body, but is not overwhelmingly strong. It’s companionable, and as Elph put it, “A tea I’d be happy to wake up to in the morning.” First steeping: 3 minutes, Second steeping: 4 minutes (and just as good!)
