November 2015 Harvest
5g in 100ml porcelain teapot, gongfu style.
Dry leaf smells rather light. Can’t detect much aroma at all. That is, until I throw them into a prewarmed teapot and WOW is this tea leaf or warm cherries dipped in chocolate? This is before I even add water, by the way.
Verdant says this has notes of chocolate, cherry, sandalwood and vanilla. These flavours absolutely spot on.
A huge reason I bought this is because cherry is listed as one of the main notes. I haven’t had access to something like that since Cocoa Amore by Whispering Pines (will that ever come back?)
Laoshan Roasted Oolong is my Cocoa Amore replacement. And at a much better price point too.
Recommend recommend!! I may even buy a yixing pot just for this.
