Nothing to exciting here.
Dry hay, vegetation, and field flowers are the dominant notes.
There is a bit of fruity sweetness but it’s a little underwhelming.
Some astringency, bitterness, and a slight sour tang have developed in the second steep.
Flavor notes: Dry hay, vegetation, field flowers, orange blossom honey and a bit of a sour tang.
