"2.25 grams of leaf steeped in 6 ounces purified water.
This tea (both raw leaves and steeped) definitely smells sweet, but the ceylon tea is also very present as it does not smell like a cream or even vanilla flavored tea. When I taste it, the 1st thing that hits my tongue is the ceylon. I hate when I drink a flavored tea and all I get is the flavor. Then the hint of sweetness. The potato doesn't come thru in the flavor as much as it does the mouth feel and texture. It may seem weird that I say this because tea is a liquid, but this tea definitely has a dry, starchy texture and mouth feel. But then again wine, which is also a liquid, can be dry so I've decided tea can be as well. I'm going to resteep this, but I probably won't get as many infusions I consider satisfactory as a person who really enjoys black teas as I find that for me they get watery tasting very quickly.
