14 Tasting Notes

This was my least favorite tea to date. I would only recommend this tea for people who like a lot of different flavors. None of the flavors contradicted each other, but it is difficult to fully appreciate every flavor when there are so many. If you want a layered tea, this is for you.

I will not forget this tea. I did not think a few seconds was enough to brew tea. The aftertaste is what got me. There are strong bitter notes that dominate this tea, with hints of sweetness throughout. I would recommend this to someone with a more developed palate. An unrefined palate may not appreciate the complexities of this tea.

This tea was a pleasant surprise in my tea class. I did not think nutty-flavored tea existed. It had a more complex flavor profile: sweet, small spicy, and a touch of ginger. I did not think tea could have a large taste. I would definitely try this again.

Yes the tea seemed nutty and spicy at the same time. I love the combination of flavors.
