The dry aroma sort of reminds me of caramel candied apples or something – with a hint of cinnamon and orange, perhaps?

Post infusion I can smell the ginger and cinnamon and less of the citrus and fruit.

There is a woodsy yet spicy flavor to it. Underneath that I can taste the cinnamon and ginger more-so when it cools at room temp for a few moments. The ginger and citrus notes draw out well on to the aftertaste.

This is unique. Pretty good, too!
