You know I love a good Yunnan and I know my Sororitea Sister Liberteas LOVES Darjeeling…so that is why I got this sample when I re-ordered. It’s very different and I don’t think I can compare it to anything else I have tried. But I really like it!
It smells malty but with a spec of smoke. It also has just a little bit of fruit goodness trying to hide underneath!
The flavor is incredible malty with a fair amount of ‘crustiness’. There is a bit of smoke, a little fruit, and a hint of bitterness – but in a good way.
This offers a a roller coaster of flavors and a unique and conversational tasting experience!
This one sounds awesome. A very interesting blend.
What is “crustiness”? That’s like using the word crunch in a name. The only crunchy teas I’ve had are the ones in which I ate the steepings. Crusty sounds like you added croutons or something.
