I've been meaning to mention that I've had an interesting ride with
the BLC I bought in Vancouver from Spring Cottage in late July.
Wanting to use it while it kept some freshness, I've been brewing it
most mornings. As I expected, the full, blooming, melony glory lasted
only the first week. But as the leaves lost freshness, something
unexpected and, to my taste, delightful crept in, starting with the
second steep: a kind of cooling spice note, somewhere in the realm of
cardamom, for want of a really close comparison.
