Mine doesn't have too much roast taste but does have some tannin taste (which I don't mind but I suspect that more expensive kind will have lighter tannin taste). Btw, did you check the wet leaves after brew? Sometimes after brewing, I enjoy picking on the wet leaves and see if they are thick and complete :DGingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901557768510499317.post-88468081270010107042008-09-16T02:16:00.000-07:002008-09-16T02:16:00.000-07:00Ohhhhh, I just discovered a new blog!Things are lo...Ohhhhh, I just discovered a new blog!<BR/><BR/>Things are looking lovely, keep up the good work.Proinsiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865662381204889917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901557768510499317.post-53639487977188131452008-09-14T12:49:00.000-07:002008-09-14T12:49:00.000-07:00Awesome, I'll have to try it then.
