“Backlog What I’ve noted on the tiniest sticky note is: Floral heavy and dried apricot.” Read full tasting note
You can welcome a tea, you can accommodate a tea, you can choose a tea but chances are you’ve never felt welcomed, accommodated or chosen by a tea. This, here, is that Providence. We didn’t find it. It found us. As will it find you, eventually. To what beginnings, thereafter, will be personal, living stories, untold but nevertheless profound.
The Dry leaf smell Autumn-Sweet – of Apricots and Raisins. The leaves are delicate with an abundance of ‘Hair’. The brewed tea is crispy and very syrupy. The flavor is like jazz – there’s a whole improvised arrangement of notes, timings and patterns for you to be led by. The notes are very fluid, very ‘Serenade’ – you can cue yourself in, to even make them up as you go! ……Flowery, Fruity, Honey like, Tanginess of Raisins all happen to make improvised appearances that’s perfectly timed in the Serenade. Remember, all this unravels while your mouth is coated with sweetness. The Depth and profile of the flavors is not at all complicated to follow, despite the arrangement – just like Ms. Simone.
The leaves, when plucked, are frosted – what that means is it’s collected in very low Darjeeling temperatures, early in the frosted mornings. How the relationship between the leaves and the frost unfolds, we can never know. But the consequence that suffices to our end is that the flavors are more concentrated. Not to mention, the careful handpicking in such conditions is more an act of willingness and spirit than adversity overcome by physical labor. Such care and willingness set the stage for the even more patient process of drying and hand rolling. Each leaf is rolled by hand. The amount of ‘hair’ or fur you’ll see in the dry tea leaves is testament to the hand rolling. It also is the reason why the dry leaf picture appears slightly spotted and jittery.
When you’re done with your first brew, whiff the leftover tea at the bottom of the cup- it’ll make you slurp it too, then smell the brewed tea leaves and you won’t feel any hesitation to steep another cup – You’ll find the Serenade still ‘sounds’ the same!
…And this old world, is a new world, and a bold world…For me.
