Dry leaf is long and brittle and smells of asparagus, white chocolate and smoke.
first steep was all wet grass, seaweed and smoke
later steepings revealed more apricot, saddle leather along with vegetal tones, but I thought it lacked in the mid-palate so I pushed it a little more with steep time. This was a good idea as it picked up some body and brought out some warm spices such as cinnamon and sandalwood, supported by apricot and fine astringency. Smokiness still lingers.
a very delicate sweet finish.
reminds of a young pu’er, but lacks a certain je ne sais quoi
