I feel like I may be warming up to the Yancha profile. First two times I’ve had this particular one, I thought it was a high quality tea that is perhaps not really for me. However, today the complex room-filling aroma brought a very comfortable feeling that was then supported by the rest of the session.
Dry leaves have a perfumy smell with notes of wooden cabinets, nectarine, fruit tree flowers and coffee. The wet leaf aroma is sweet and marine with a hint of nettle.
The liquor has a fluffy, colloidal texture and a thick, mouth-watering mouthfeel. It tastes woody and bitter with a sort of vegetal sweetness to it. There is a sweet and spicy finish with a distinct cinnamon note. The protracted aftertaste is very strong and evolving – it is sweet, sour, and savoury and involves a warming and spicy fragrance that emerges from the throat
