Using 8g of a 25g sample. I heard this described as a dessert tea and have to agree. The first few steepings had strong flavors of peach and stone fruit with a nice creamy texture. The cup smelled of overly sweet berries. By the 3rd or 4th steeping I started to get a slight bitter note and a grassy taste. Overall a very sweet and mellow tea.

I tasted a sample of the 2016 right after. 2016 is much more bitter right now and a bit less creamy. I would have trouble picking a favorite as each was good but a bit different at this point.
