Smells divine, malted candy with that funky earthy smell similar to a Yunnan black tea, but with even more complex floral notes.
Unfortunately the flavour of the tea is slightly bitter and astringent. It tastes floral in the sense of chewing on a flower, not sweet but instead getting the bitter juices of the plant that is not meant to be eaten.
Brewed at 176˚F for 4:00.
