Togo drank Masu Wild Style Black Tea (2020) by Old Ways Tea

994 tasting notes

I drank this one a while back, but I didn’t have time to write a note then. It’s another one from my recent tea swap with Roswell Strange. I have generally enjoyed the samples from Old Ways Tea, but this one might be my favourite, even though I haven’t tried all of them yet.

Dry leaf aroma is perfumy with notes of nectarine, dry wood, hookah and brownies. Afterwards, the wet leaves smell of cranberry, wood, fenugreek seeds, leather and watermelon. It is truly a a grab bag of scent sensations.

The taste is sweet and it reminds me of plant roots, olives and za’atar. I also really liked the sticky, full bodied liquor with a well integrated astringency.

Flavors: Cookie, Cranberry, Leather, Nectarine, Olives, Plants, Sweet, Watermelon, Wood

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
