This tea is well balanced, but a bit more on the bitter side among black teas.
Dry leaves have a strong smell of tomato vine complemented by muscovado sugar and wood notes. During the session, the aroma is more floral with hints of vanilla and cacao beans.
The taste is indeed bitter, but also fruity, woody and spicy. It induces warming and astringent sensations and a long-lasting aftertaste. There are flavours like cloves, mint, and apricot pits to be found here.
