Yummy. Brothy and earthy. Cocoa and bitterness as well but it’s quite mellow. Aroma reminds me of… dank castle armories. Strange association but not an unwelcome one.

I actually often get an aroma reminiscent of dungeons or other underground castle spaces in tea, especially with humidly stored ripes! I agree that usually it gives the tea a nice character and is associated with a lot of memories in my mind.

I liked this particular tea, before it was overtaken by mold two years ago, during a time when I was away from home for extended period and foolishly left my tea enclosed without ventilation. Thankfully, this was the only one I had to throw out.

It’s definitely common in my experiences so far. This one just instantly threw me back to the Polish castles I visited in my childhood.

Lucky that you only had to throw one tea out, one that’s relatively inexpensive!

Hello! My name is Mateusz, or Mat for short. Started brewing gong fu style in January 2021. This is mostly for logging purposes; don’t expect fancy reviews as I’m not great at picking up every note and hint and I’m not too picky anyway.

Happy to exchange tea samples! I haven’t been great at updating my cupboard but feel free to ask about the teas that I log on here.
