The dry aroma has notes of a wood workshop and desert woods. I find it slightly difficult to fully taste tea when I’ve got canker sores but I’m going to do my best. This is light for a woody tea. Would not work well with milk like an Assam. I mean, you could try but the resin and cracked, brittle wood notes would definitely disappear. If you are looking for a punchy black tea maybe look for something else but try this one regardless for it’s subtle qualities. I’ve uncovered another piece of the aroma as I’ve been sitting here reading Defiance. The wet leaf reminds me of those tiny drops of chocolate chip oatmeal raisin cookies that get kind of burnt as they cook on the pan with the cookies.
Ugh, canker sores always pop up at the worst time, hope they heal quickly!
