When I smell this tea, I smell hot water from a bathhouse in India. Steaming hot water with scents of the earth that stew in a water tank before being heated through some pipes and being collected in a giant plastic bucket, which you carry off with you to the shower room to use how you please. A slight scent of Dettol soap. A scrubbed clean feeling, this how clean water can get, that you may find bubbling in a volcanic spring on the top of a mountain.
This is 90% an odorful tea, the 10% is in the taste. The taste is slightly bitter, that is all. Sometimes teas are for smelling, and the drinking is an afterthought, and that is okay. It was nice to be reminisced about the olden days, days of rajahs and ecumenical times.
Notes of scotch, only because the cup had scotch in it prior to the pouring of the tea.
