Thick on the tongue, with a blend of subdued earthiness, malt, and semi-sweet cocoa. The cocoa lasts quite long in the finish, which is smooth and very slightly chalky in texture. Simultaneously rich and mellow, this tea is a unique one that I found enjoyable.

This is a smooth and mellow tea that opens with a light note of grass and innate sweetness, leading into a soft tanginess and muted vegetal flavors in the finish. More similar to a Taiwanese Baozhong than a Chinese Biluochun, delicate but appealing.

Bergamot hits the tongue immediately, accompanied by a light malt base and subtle bitterness. This Earl Grey highlights the natural citrus, which is quite potent, and lacks any artificial perfumed note. The mouthfeel here is juicy and robust, though mildly drying in the finish. Enjoyable.

This is a funky and unusual tea with a complex array of enduring flavors; tart plum, mint, earthiness, dark coffee. There is a pungent sharpness to it and a slightly bitter backbone, as well as a smooth and reasonably thick body. The mouthfeel is highly dynamic and an absolute star here. Quite an experience altogether, and one that may require multiple sessions to fully appreciate.

This is a bold, medium-bodied tea with savory and vegetal qualities, a hint of smoke, and noticeable astringency. The flavors here, in combination with the dryness, do not appeal to me.

Smooth and subtly vegetal at first, revealing notes of green bean and corn with a slight sweetness in the finish. Absent of any bitterness, this tea is a gentle one, with balanced flavors that are light but still enjoyable.

Light malt and a note of toasted bread transition to a mildly sweet fruitiness that lingers into the aftertaste. While lacking the depth to truly stand out, this tea is fairly enjoyable regardless, smooth and with a medium body.

This tea has a light texture and moderate astringency, with an expanding note of gardenia blossom. While pleasant, the sharpness never quite fades and leaves an unrefined impression. Steep carefully.

Dark malt and molasses with a hint of raisin and smoke, and a slightly bitter edge to the finish. While mildly sweet, this tea is decidedly focused on the malt. It is stronger than the other Georgian teas offered by What-Cha, but still fairly smooth, as an old gentleman should be. Aptly named.

Full-bodied and sublimely smooth, there is an immediate honeyed sweetness that quickly transitions to notes of maple syrup, cinnamon spice, and baked apple pie. The finish is long and persistently sweet. Simultaneously gentle and rich with flavor, this tea is quite a treat.
