It smells chocolate. The dry leaf and the liquor. Drinking it it’s very different : I get much patatoes notes, very stong ones and malt. However I get a smocky after taste, light but present.
This is a very uncommun tea. I never had such a tea, nothing I can compare with. It has a lot of personnality.

While cooling, honey notes are growing as well as chocolate ones.
It is a light bodied tea to me but I didn’t steep it very long because I had no parameters to steep it (and I’ve beentoo lazy to search on VT’s website !)

Dexter3657 sent me a huge sample of this one so I can play around this one a little again. Thank you very much for sharing.

Accompanied with pancakes and maple syrup to honour my dear Canadian fellows here on Steepster. Thank you all for the last Swap which was almost a 100% Canadian Swap :)

First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.

I was mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m now drinking much straight teas because my palate is now developed enough to appreciate them .

My favourite brands are : Taiwan tea Crafts, Teavivre, Mariage Frères,Theodor,Butiki Teas,Dammann Frères, Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :

100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard (or very often ! )

94 to 90 : Excellent tea

89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it

79 to 70: not bad even quite nice, why not having it sometimes, but well,it’s not so urgent !

69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities

49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it

Under 30 : is this thing supposed to be tea ?!?!?
