As a wino, I love a good Sauternes, Port, Pedro Ximénez, or Beerenauslese. This is the closest thing to a dessert tea I’ve had. Exceptionally sweet from the first infusion! Sad that this beauty is sold out. I only have the rest of my sample to keep me company. Not a complex tea, but one that is sweet enough to love you unconditionally.
Longevity is 8-10 infusions. No astringency or bitterness. Mouthfeel is fairly thick, with good hui gan.
