Thank you Kasumi no Chajin for the sample!
Well, work has finally calmed down and my sudden strong espresso craving has subsided. So, I finally have the time to enter the notes that I have for my side-by-side tasting of “new” and “old” Golden Fleece today! I’m pretty sure that they must be different years or something, but I think I will email Verdant to ask (I still haven’t done this).
Instead of trying to figure out what my rough notes meant, I’ve decided to just put them here as is:
“Old” Golden Fleece- elegant, whiskey, peanuts still covered in cellulose, silky texture, Morel mushrooms, sour.
“New” Golden Fleece- unripened banana aroma, earthy, mushroom, vanilla, wet forest floor, foam on leaves.
I remember liking them both very much, and I am unable to come to a strong opinion as to which I prefer.

Did you notice a change in flavor? One could be a spring and one an autumn harvest.
There were differences in appearance, aroma, flavor…Only the color seemed consistent between the two. I’ll edit this post with my complete notes after I’m done. I’ve only steeped each three times so far.
