There is something different about this tea…(I’m going straight in on this review, bypassing the leaves and smell, because I’m pondering live while I write this)… yes, very yam-skin (more earthy than just yam), yes some chocolate….but behind the honey smoothness of this tea is a different note that I haven’t associated with Yunnan before….there is a wonderful note of ground nuts that is settling in-between the other typically Yunan notes that makes this different than the others I’ve tried. Nuts. It’s definitely a middle note that brings that wholeness of this smooth tea together. Nuts. This tea has no astringency, which suits me on this warm morning with an empty tummy. Nuts. Or am I just…. nah, that’s too easy. Highly recommended.
Ps: because I went speeding past the leaf review, Here is a photo: http://instagram.com/p/o_br7UAnKB/
