Now, this is a great tea in almost every aspect. It looks stunning, with the long wiry leaves and golden tips. The dry leaves have a complex fragrance: flowers, honey, pepper, peach, apricot. And it tastes great too, with honeyed sweetness, flowers and something that I can describe only as dust of centuries. The dust that accumulates on old books that assumes the smell of the past, of the things that happened long, long time ago before your time.
It is just a perfect evocative tea for a special kind of mood: remembrance, contemplation, introspection. Everybody needs it once in a while.
Flavors: Apricot, Dust, Flowers, Honey, Peach
This is one of my favorites to serve to guests who have never had “good” tea. They are amazed to find tea that tastes like tea but without any bitterness or astringency. This is a real champ for guests.
