I think that I should have set the Zarafina to Medium.
The leaves were a pretty mix of back and gold.
It was a pretty smooth and sweet (no additives) tea, but unremarkable (if compared to other quality teas, including other Harney and Sons).
Post-Steep Additives: none
Resteep: Zarafina Black-loose-strong
Again i should have done medium! When will I learn?
It was a bit bitter, but a smooth, strong black tea with honey notes still.
Rating: 2/4 leaves
