The Leaf: Very thin, needle like, with half being dark black and the other being golden and feathery. The scent is very strong with notes of malt, honey, cocoa, and dry wood.
The Brew: The liquor is a golden brown, clear but with lots of leaf fuzz floating about. The aroma is similar to the leaf but lighter with a slightly more sweet malty tone. The flavor is medium in strength, not too light, but also not overpowering. There is no bitterness and the mouthfeel is very soft. A slight aftertaste lingers for a short time. The flavor is in line with the aroma but with a slight smokiness incorporated as well.
I drink all of my teas cold.
Flavors: Cocoa, Honey, Malt
