Advent Tea Calendar Day 3
Churchmouse Autumn Tea
Churchmouse Yarns & Teas/Steven Smith Teamaker
Type: Black
Origin: India, China
Product Description: Brilliant tea master Steve Smith–founder of Tazo and, before that, Stash–produced the perfect blend to put between our Summer and Winter: Churchmouse Autumn. Once again, he astounds us with his talent.
His full-bodied creation has a round, satisfying flavor and a long, malty finish. Smooth Assam is beautifully woven with bright Ceylon and robust Keemun. Excellent as a wake-up call or afternoon pick-me-up. A spot of milk wouldn't go amiss.
Temperature: 208° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes
The dry leaves have an aroma of dry wood, sweet oats, apricots, and a hint of caramel.
The red-orange infusion has a vine green, lightly malty, and lightly fruity aroma with a lightly malty flavor and a long, dry apricot finish.
While this tea would hold up well with a bit of milk and sugar, I found that the first infusion was flavorful on its own.
This tea was purchased by me.
