Thick and smooth, this tea opens with dark malt and a mellow sweetness that grows continually into the aftertaste, bringing to mind molasses and dark honey paired with dried plum. The mouthfeel is stimulating and juicy, with just the slightest touch of bitterness. Quite enjoyable.
Loose leaf tea drinker since 2006. I began with Adagio and Upton and moved on from there.
My reviews are concise and only describe flavor and texture. I avoid the 0-100 rating scale, for two reasons. First, there is no objective measure and a score of 100 for a newbie could be 70 for an experienced connoisseur. Second, users may ignore the review itself and focus solely on the score, which could lead to an unfair assessment of the tea and possibly impact the merchant’s reputation and sales.
