A very good white tea that is on the bitter and savoury side of the spectrum.

The aroma is sweet and flowery, but it also reminds me of fur, apricots, and autumn leaf pile.

The first infusion is a bit grassy and warming with a cooling finish. Second one is quite bitter with notes of bark, moss, and grape skins. Later I found also flavours of lamb meat and bread crust.

The tea has a soft mouthfeel and medium body. Its aftertaste is long, sweet, and fragrant with a numbing mouthfeel. There are notes of herbs (sage), white wine, and florals.

Flavors: Apricot, Autumn Leaf Pile, Bark, Bitter, Bread, Burnt Food, Cooling, Floral, Flowers, Fur, Grape Skin, Grassy, Herbaceous, Meat, Moss, Sage, Sweet, White Wine

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
