Prominent bright, fruity notes in the first steep. More traditional Assam flavors come out in subsequent infusions. As astringent as a Darjeeling. I started at a bit over a minute and went up to 2 minutes on the third infusion — still flavorful.

Bold, fruity first infusion, but seems to lose its flavor after just a few steeps.

Deep floral/honey notes, like a fresh Alishan. Unique tropical notes — papaya, maybe? Light astringency. Light roast.

First steep is best; after that, the roast seems to take over. Sweet, butterscotch, not overbearing.

Very smoky! Reminds me of my favorite rauchbiers, or of smoked almonds. Has a deep, vegetal richness that evokes certain green teas I’ve tried. A bit astringent. 4 resteeps and it’s still tasting pretty good.

Flavors: Almond, Grass, Smoke
