A sophisticated, complex and subtle black tea. A bit Keemun-ish but less bold. Smooth, not powerfully malty like Assam or Yunnan. I had to brew it a full 5 minutes Western-style, 4-4.5 was not strong enough with my usual 1 stp per 6 oz water leaf ratio.
Notes of sweet shellfish-crab, fruit-plum, autumn leave scent.
It is interesting, not my usual style but I would give it 80/100
Started drinking tea regularly in 2003 when I read that tea helped broken bones heal faster, because I had one.
Discovered high quality loose-leaf a year later and was soon hooked on Indian, Chinese, and Japanese tea.
Also amassed a small but happy collection of Japanese Teaware.
