Additional notes: What is yuzu? – It is a fragrant, sour citrus fruit, often associated with Japanese cuisine, with a flavour profile resembling a mix of lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit. 

I warmed up tea to see how it tastes and it was much more enjoyable to drink. The same flavours came up much more vividly and more pleasant.

The brew overall was not bad
