This needs far more attention than I gave it. After several gray and gloomy days, I spent a good hunk of the afternoon basking in a warm sun puddle and let the cup get cold before I properly considered it.
Furthermore, this is no longer on The Jade Leaf’s website, so I can’t compare my puddle-headed observations with an expert description. So you’re stuck with puddle-headed.
The dry leaves smelled deliciously roasted, and my first sips led me to compare it to a good pu-erh. A little minerally in the forefront; a little brown sugar sweetness in the back. Since I’m a pick-a-tea-by-the-mood drinker, I think this one would be more appropriate for a chillier day. Plenty more to experiment with.
