I am very impressed with this tea. The appearance of the leaves is very curious-thin, curly, like they were extruded to make pasta instead of plucked. The dry aroma is a of dark chocolate, the steeped aroma is spicier. The cup is unusually light for a black tea- everything about it is new and fascinating.
The flavor tops off the impression- I pick up dark chocolate, a little mace and it finishes with the buckwheat flavor note mentioned in other tasting notes.
