First time breaking into my cake of W2T’s rooster. Comparing my experience with the notes from a year ago show that the tea hasn’t changed much. It still has that lovely upfront bitterness and a mostly vegetal profile.

The dry leaf scent is weaker now though and there are some aromas in the wet leaves that I didn’t pick up previously, such as cream, herbaceous ones, cabbage, and citrus zest.

The taste is a bit more bready with a sunflower seed note and there are flavours of jalapeno peppers and coffee emerging in the aftertaste, accompanying the floral sweetness. I also really like the combination of a throat-cooling feeling with the overall body-warming sensation the tea induces.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
