Lima

Dark leaves, I would say the roast is more than ‘slight’. Accordingly, the roast is very present in the smell, the smell is on the verge of burnt actually. Some sweetness in the mouth, the roast is dominant though. For me it needs some more body and sweet notes to balance out the roast, it feels a bit watery and in every sip feel like something is kind of lacking in the taste profile, which is a unsatisfying.

Not quite sure where I grabbed this, other than it was in Paris. The unusual list of ingredients grabbed me (ginseng? Coptic? Peach stone?) so I decided to try it. Spicy sweet is a good description on the box: a touch of ginger and herbal with something mellow and sweet in the background. No idea what that is… Most of the ingredients here are new to me.

Very smooth, woody, twiggy, recently discovered, served it cold as a welcome drink.
