this is for the cake version, though I purchased a 50g of the maocha version as well.
5.1/90. mouthful of berries, reminding me of all of the things i like about the taste of red wine with none of the things i dislike about it. some throatiness. some smoke, but certainly not xiaguan level. clear, with some of the wistaria sour (musty?) storage taste. somewhat heady and pausing. wasn’t super thick in texture past the first steep, but quite warming overall. It’s been a while since anything has made me sweat, but this did and felt strong. Hoping that some of the storage will dissipate with some time.
