I’ve been meaning to drink down some samples that I’ve had stored in my “sample box” for a long while now. I had decided to daily choose three teas at random, by placing my hand into the box.
Today, Nandi Hill Black won the lucky draw.
I had tried this once before when I had received the Regional Group Buy teas from Liquid Proust, but I decided to save the notes for a later time. I usually like to try a tea, and give it another chance before coming to a full conclusion on the tea itself.
I’m finding this tea to be very pleasant for me today. I had noted during the last session that it was “too malty & bitter.” However, I’m liking it today. There are no bitter notes lingering on the tongue. There are notes of a dark cocoa with a richness that lingers in the mouth. The mouthfeel is thick and leaves the back of the mouth/throat pretty dry.
Overall, I think this is a good tea. Despite the negative feedback on my previous session, I think that this is the type of tea that needs to sit a few weeks/months before giving it a second chance.
Flavors: Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Malt
