First impressions: sweet tobacco, vanilla. Something oceanic in the background.
1
Wet leaves: medicinal herbs, a tiny bit of camphor, some smoke.
Liquor: smooth, brown sugar, vanilla, herbaceous, slightly cooling. “Elegant” astringency.
2
more sweetness, clarity. Aroma feels sort of muted.
3
back to strong aromas: aged tobacco, damp vegetation, oyster sauce.
Liquor: smooth, earthy, brown sugar, vanilla.
The body is kind of thin for me, it has a pleasant astringency that leaves some roughness in the mouth. My heartbeat gets slow and loud. Some energy in my arms. My head feels heavy.
4
Aroma “faded” again… am I being influenced by the fact this tea is named “Fade”?
Liquor is kind of thin but the good astringency gives a feeling of fullness. There’s no much aftertaste
5
Reminiscence of ripe fruits hiding under a pile of old damp leaves.
More vanilla, black pepper, slight bitterness in the tip of the tongue.
I feel slightly sedated but there’s some energy in my chest.
6
More camphor and medicinal herbs, I found it very pleasant and not overly sweet. Maybe some smoke. Brown sugar, or maybe stevia. Brown stevia.
Now it’s more pungent and drying and makes me hungry.
7
Fragrance keeps changing, this time is mainly vanilla.
I just had some crackers with black pepper and I can’t taste the tea properly at this point.
8
Fading. Pleasant liquor with not much bitterness and some faint taste.
I could keep pushing but I had enough.
Flavors: Brown Sugar, Camphor, Medicinal, Tobacco, Vanilla
