Im reviewing this again as this time drinking it im getting totally different flavour & aroma than before, and after re-reading my review I wanted to add a few things -
I’m getting a lovely almost Ya Shi velvet perfume, with a soft sweetness. Grandpa style Ive had my nose in the cup just inhaling the aroma. I really cant describe what it is but its so nice I had to mention it as I didnt notice it before and I dont know why.
It just has something really special and lovely about it, a bit fruity, not citrus but deeper. A bit nutty, ever so slightly roasty, savoury but sweet, thick with a nice aftertaste, a slight acidity. Its not like im being punched in the face by the leaf, I think I needed to drink it quite a few different times to totally appreciate it, as this isnt a type of tea I have tried before a few months ago, and is soft and subtle so its a bit humble in how it comes across. I didnt pick up on how perfumed it was before.
Defo not a tea for all occasions, but at this moment in time it was perfect. Its really ‘leafy’ tasting. Purple leafy too. nom
