9/12 LB Green Eggs and Spam

For this batch we used a loose leaf tea called David’s Breakfast. This was our English Breakfast batch and we thought we were getting an organic English Breakfast from DavidsTea (that’s what the girl told us anyway) but it turns out this is actually a blend of teas from Nepal and India. So our English Zen in on hiatus and we will be brewing Green Eggs and Spam (12 grams David’s Breakfast + 4 grams green) for awhile.

We harvested this batch on 9/21 and after an eight day fermentation in 90+ degree weather it was a little vinegary so we disposed of it. David’s Breakfast is a very black tea and makes very strong buch. Our usual fermentation temperature is in the 70s. In the future we’ll adjust our fermentation period for extreme temperatures.
