Backlogged note. No longer going in order, but who needs order!
The golden colored wash of this tea smells of smoked wood and petrichor, and has a hint of sweetness and huigan.
The first proper steep is more amber in color with a sweet, smoky flavor. A couple steeps in the color becomes more brown and the smoke dissipates, creating a very nice balance in the flavor.
A light cooling sensation kicks in and lingers in the throat from steep four on, and one more steep in, a pleasant hint of bitterness and a slight drying sensation kick in and the sweetness becomes distinctly honey-like, rounding out the entire experience.
