Sweet malt, sweet potato, a tinge of sweet chocolate and a noticeable sharp astringency that is mildly drying for the mouth and throat.
I thought maybe the astringency was in my head or something, so I took a brewed leaf out from the pot, gave it a little bite and dang, there’s that sharp astringency.
Searched up whether aging a black tea would reduce the astringency and apparently, it does. Perhaps it being a 2025 Spring harvest has something to do with it. The smallest size of this to purchase was 50g, so I’ll be storing this away and it shall be a while before I reach for it again.
