Day 8 of Sara’s gift tea advent calendar!
The scent is very mild.
The taste is mild too. It’s a bit earthy, with something… metallic at the end of the sip. There’s a bit of a woody note in there somewhere. The notes are quite balanced. I feel like it’s the kind of tea that could grow on me.

It’s a very dark oolong using purple leaf tea and it’s from Indonesia. Purple leaf tea itself can be very hit-or-miss for people. It’s been a while since I had this one, I remember it being very earthy, mineral, and like roasted nuts. Definitely one of the more unique teas I have, and now that I have a gong fu setup I really should revisit it eastern style when I have a chance. I’m curious what the short infusions would bring.
