Day 21 of the Inoki 2024 advent calendar. Gong fu, though in retrospect it might have been better to steep this Western-style. Roswell Strange did a beautiful job of describing the complexity of this tea, so I recommend reading her note for that. I found this rich, thick, and layered, but to some degree it may have been wasted on me since I’m just not a huge fan of this flavor profile, particularly with the tannic and drying note at the end.
Adventaggedon Day 21
Gongfu!
Every black tea that Inoki has included in this advent so far has totally slapped so my expectations were high. They were also met, though, as the dry aroma smelled richly of leatherbound antique books, fudge, and cigar smoke. Steeped up it was so thick and dense with a taste like a cross between dark chocolate dipped espresso beans, flame-licked rye bread, bourbon, and just a hint of campfire smoke. Really complex but dark and dense with a fleeting bitter top note before plunging into some of those richer notes.
