My reorder came in and I went to put into a tin, but didn’t quite have room for it all. Enough for a pot and a couple more pearls, so I just tossed it all in.
I am detecting a slight roasted flavor in this. Unsure if its what I wasn’t able to name before and more leaf has made it stand out a little more, or if the connection just finally clicked in my brain.
Roasted isn’t a flavor I’m typically drawn to, but this is very mild and enhances the flavor of the tea instead of dominating it. I’m going to redact my previous comment about possibly malty. I believe I was mistaking this roasted for that in my stumbling to find that connection.
