Steeped in gaiwan.
Dry leaf reminds me of buttered cinnamon graham crackers. The butteriness carries through to the steeped liquor. Strong stone fruit and late autumn aromas with minerality.

It’s curious— I’ve had this tea a few times before, and had always felt somewhat underwhelmed with it. Now that I’m reviewing it ‘officially’, I’m paying more attention and it’s holding my attention a bit more than usual. But, unfortunately, the initial complexity disipates away rather quickly and later steepings are simpler.

I like tea; I’d like to drink more of it. I also like wine; I probably drink too much of that.
