Not a big fan of this. I thought I’d give it a try but it’s pretty much what the description says. Sweet with an astringent finish.
I thought that maybe the tea between first and second flushes would be good, but it’s just okay. I thought maybe there’d be a bit of a light floral flavor and a bit more of the body of a second flush with that but it’s like a first flush without the real notes.
On the plus side because it’s so neutral it’s going to go very well with this cherry danish.
