Still has a great depth of flavour that is perhaps even better integrated now. The taste is bittersweet and metallic with a woody sourness. There are notes of cacao and nectarines, and a cooling aftertaste.

The aromas are smoky at first – I get agarwood, peat and shellfish. Wet leaves have a lovely sweet and comforting smell that is hard to describe, but it does remind me of forest floor somewhat.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
