It’s currently 41 on a cloudy day with the leaves popping full of color. Just out of one window I’m seeing an array of reds, oranges, yellows, and those silly greens that apparently didn’t get the memo. It’s okay. Currently, it’s tropics party in my mouth. The dry aroma is full of orchids and freshness though I can tell some of it has diminished a bit. That’s my fault. Gorgeous leaves. 3rd and 4th pickings a mix of darker and a few lighter greens. Twisted but not tightly. The first aromatics were fresh and floral. The second steep is revealing lightly mineral notes with slight bread pudding and notes that sometimes remind me of fake popcorn butter. The flavor is parallel with the aroma. The third steeping reveals even more minerality with a slight drying sensation on the tongue.
