Yang Luo Han is probably a tea I’ve drunk the most of over the last year or so, and I see no sign of getting bored of it. It is a harmonious and smooth one, but continuously interesting. Today I found its taste a bit more on the tart and umami side of the spectrum with a molasses sweetness in the aftertaste as well as some metallic character.
On top of that I noticed a bunch of new aromas. Besides the popcorn and orange that I mentioned in my previous note, the dry leaf smell also reminded me of old clean wooden furniture. The wet leaf fragrance was an explosion of various notes, among them animal fur, coconut shell, tiramisu, ice-cream, mussels, milk, wet rocks, and charcoal.
