Sipdown! (24 | 476)
Wow, mixed reviews on this one lol! I wonder if it’s because of the differences in individual harvests.
Anyway, I think this is a scrumptious tea. It’s incredibly smooth and rich with oodles of deep caramelized maple brown sugar and syrupy sweet dried fruit. I’m thinking along the lines of dates with maybe some fig and a bit of golden raisin. There’s a gentle honey note as well, which adds a nice aromatic, nectarous sweetness. All of this rests on a comforting base of crisp autumn leaves, baked sweet potatoes, and lightly toasted nuts and grains. Perhaps a hint of caraway that reminds me of a Fujian black tea? At the end of the sip, there’s a whisper of lush-yet-sweet floral, and it tends to build slightly as I sip my way through the cup. A clear spring water sweetness lingers on my tongue.
A lovely tea, and so so perfect for Fall with its supremely cozy flavors. It reminds me a bit of a Bai Hao combined with perhaps a Fujian black tea. Definitely one I will consider reordering in the future, as the price seems fairly reasonable to me at $26/100 grams.
