Though I’ve had agarwood scented teas before and some of The Paisley Hippo’s flavoured agarwood leaf blends, this is my first time trying to leaves on their own. I was surprised by just how familiar the smooth and subtly sweet flavour was. Gently earthy and woody with a slight smokiness and notes of sweet grass, petrichor, and grilled nuts. It reminded me a lot of greener yerba mate and coffee leaf, both of which I am also a fan, and also some Chinese/pan fired green teas too. I definitely see where the inspiration of “rainforest” in the tea name comes from!
