It smells delicious – rich and thick and very nuanced – but the taste doesn’t have the same depth. It’s heavy but not quite rich and falls more on the flat end of things than the nuanced side.
I’ll give the rest of my sample a try at 175° to see if that gives me a fuller taste that matches up more to the smell. If it does, it will be awesome. If it doesn’t, it will be only decent.

I’m trying to be a better tea logger and actually post semi-regularly again! I’ve let my tea tasting senses become too complacent – it’s time for some focused and attentive tea drinking!
Sometimes my notices for PMs and such have been questionable. Email me at your own risk at aug3zimm at gmail dot com.
1 – 10 – Bleck. Didn’t finish the cup.
11 – 25 – Drinkable. But don’t punish me by making me have it again.
26 – 40 – Meh. Most likely will see if the husband likes it iced.
41 – 60 – Okayish. Maybe one day I’ll kill off what I have in my pantry.
61 – 75 – Decent. I might pick some up if I needed tea.
76 – 85 – Nice. I’d probably buy but wouldn’t hunt it down.
86 – 100 – Yum! I will hunt down the vendor to get this tea!
Not that anyone but me particularly cares, but there it is.
