Thanks to R2 for the sample! It’s been what, 3 years? lol.
5.5g, 90mL, boiling, mixed water
wet leaf: woody, berries
1. woody upfront, turns into a bitter taste that dissipates into sweet florals.
2. stronger bitter. Florals on breath and in mouth
3. light and sweet, honeyed w slight bitter in background and something tangerine like
Did not take notes for this after, but overall feeling is a bit downing, but maybe a few more years until that’s more gentle. Where it really excels is the aftertaste. Definitely one of the most enjoyable and interesting ones I’ve had. In the recent TWL release, there’s a quarter cake available in the MZ set, but I wonder if they’ll sell cakes of it in the future, and if so, for how much. Jade Leaf sells for $414, and a group buy a few years back had some available for I want to say ~$300, but I balked at the price then, and at that price still wouldn’t spring for it now. However, I do have my fingers crossed that my LSGCs age into something interesting like this.
