OK, so I have looked at others notes for this tea in other years, and I don’t know if 2016 was that much better, but I definitely give it a very high rating! I found this tea rich and complex. Nose; Peaches, rich, soup like, slight blood orange, melon, plantain, buckwheat, walnut, allspice. On the palate, it has an interesting beef consumee ( not sure if I spelled that right ) like base from which arise flavors like peaches, walnuts, buckwheat, strawberry, with just enough tannin to give it backbone, wonderful full mouth feel, holds up over at least 7 steepings. I think it is unusual for this type of tea so it might not be for everyone, but if you like different, try this one.
