This is a very interesting tea. I had it both yesterday morning and this morning but didn’t have time to log it. My first thoughts were that it had the sweetness of an Assam and the fruitiness of a Cylon. The more I drink it though, the more leather notes I pick up on until that’s the only thing I taste. Weird! I’ve never really tasted leather notes in any tea before. I knew they supposedly existed before, but this is the first tea that made them stand out to me. This is a smooth leather. It feels like how I would imagine licking a saddle or smooth leather bag (not that I do that). I’m not 100% sure I like thotes, but I have plenty of this tea to experiment with and maybe now that I know what to look for I might pick it out. More in other teas.

Oh no, not leather! I’ve never had a leather-y tea before, I don’t think, but I get strong leather notes in some red wines and really don’t enjoy them. I’ll have to try this one soon and see (er, taste) for myself…
I didn’t notice the notes at first, but they really just started to take over after a while.
