This one started out with light bitterness in the front, then gentle deep flowers on the exhale. It felt SO BIG – it’s not that the liquid is thick, exactly, it’s that the lingering aroma in my mouth felt like huge flowers physically just crowding my mouth full. I felt like I was suffocating on giant petals, and what a way to go!
In later steeps, the bitterness lingered a bit longer and the aftertaste got correspondingly sweeter. Eventually I started getting a touch of woodsiness in the sip, some fuzziness in the mouth, and the aftertaste lost its flowers and moved towards sweet straw.
tldr so very worth it for the bizarre and beautiful sensation of a mouth crammed full of enormous flowers.
