Unsurprisingly, this black tea is superb. Its mouthfeel is perhaps not overly thick, but it is a smooth one with low astringency. Otherwise, the tea also lasts for quite a long time, I get almost twice as many infusions from it than from most other black teas.
Dry leaves smell woody and sweet with a hint of smokiness. During the session then, I get aromas of nectarine, red currant, flowers, tyres, thyme, and nougat.
The taste is bitter, sweet, mineral, woody, mostly smooth and cooling as well. There is that characteristic grapefruit bitterness of LaoManE that I love, but also flavours of honey, cocoa, grapes, root vegetables, quinine and others.
