Early Spring Sun-Dried Buds

TASTING NOTES

Made from the compact winter buds of tea trees picked in February. At this stage the buds still have a lot of natural sugars stored up, and little caffeine, leading to a very bright and smooth, somewhat sweet brew, with notes of vanilla, cardamom, and rose. 

PREPARATION

212F water. Use 5 grams. Start at 10 seconds, add 5 each time.
