Recommended brewing: 190° for 2 minutes, longer for hoppier taste
A tea too good to be unheard
Bootleggin’ Legend is an unreleased tea that I thought was too good to stay on the bench. Enjoy this before it gets revealed in its final form. A smoky tea that is smooth and sophisticated. Cheers!
Vinyl Pairing: Cannonball Adderley, The Nat Adderley Sextet, & Rick Holmes - Soul Zodiac (1972)
Wild jazz record going over the zodiacs. Ranges from chill to chaotic - I guess depending what your sign is.
