drank Congou by Oliver Pluff & Company
3023 tasting notes

So…when fall weather finally arrives, what unflavored tea do you crave? I’ve got my gingerbread and carrot cake and chai all ready to go, but the one variety I associate with autumn is a good Keemun Congou. This one is especially fine. When I underleaf (my worst steeping habit), I can’t catch it, but I threw caution to the wind this morning and in addition to the burlap and leather vibe, there’s a lovely apple-peel note as well.
