If tea were music this would be a classical piece. It’s a bit too subtle for the pieces like L’Éloignement but I don’t know if I want to be cliche by saying the rose flavor matches with Vivalid’s Four Seasons Spring. Granted I really do love that piece. If you’ve ever been to Delos, Greece you will especially love this: https://archive.org/details/live-from-delos-vivaldis-the-uncertain-four-seasons
First brew: In a mug. 195F.
Liquor aroma: Creamy. Warm milk with a hint of some type of spice.
Flavor: Woody notes swirling with rose. Hint of cacao.
After taste: Sweetwood.
Mouth feel: Smooth. No astringency.
Gong fu: Currently on my second infusion. My first edit of this post got erased on my phone. _ I will tell you that I do like this tea better as gong fu but both are still very enjoyable. Great woody notes highlighted with rose.

Love the musical comparison!
I was eyeing this tea in the Black Friday sales. I was worried about astringency due to the very low grams-per-ml steeping parameters (I think it was 2 g/100 ml). It will be interesting to hear how it performs in a gongfu session.
