I ordered this of this out of curiosity, and I’m glad I did! The leaves are interesting, looking a lot like a Yunnan gold bud black but with the gold buds being more grey. The dry leaves smell strongly of sweet potato which had me worried.
It brews a medium yellow and tastes of sweet potatoes, but also tropical fruit (mango maybe), mineral, and umami. It’s an interesting mix of sweet and savory. It lasts for many infusions, but astringency seems to build up as you go. In latter steeps it was very astringent.
Overall tasty and interesting!
In other news, I started a blog! https://themellifiedcup.wordpress.com/
It would mean a lot if you would check it out and comment or give feedback on the blog and what you would like to see on it in the future.
