This tea smells a bit like a chrysanthemum to me. It has that slightly menthol-like astringency mixed with some floral and sweetness. It is a really good Hong Yu and I recommend starting with this one if you haven’t tried one. The taste is a bit deeper you might expect. I would call it warm and rich. All those metallic and cocoa adjacent flavors that you get from black tea and some tannin that dries out your mouth. Plenty of complexity and flavor to made a great cup of tea.
