Sweet and smooth, with a wonderful scent of roasted cacao and butter. There is a bit of sourness that adds complexity to the taste, especially as the cup cools. There are fermented woody notes as well. I don’t get any florals – this tea is hefty. Prepared Western style in a big ol’ mug. Thanks for sharing, Indigobloom, this one goes on the wish list.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Did you try a second infusion?
sounds like IB needs to send some MY way heh
I will cop to being a bit leery – the leaves IB sent in the sample were all golden. The picture on the YS site is not at all golden. I’m still going to order some eventually to see if they are the same. :) I’ll do a second infusion this afternoon!
I just got all paranoid and peeked in the bag. There are indeed some leaves with golden tips. I wouldn’t say it was all gold though.
@Sil I’m so starting a box for you hehe
Ooo, yeah. So this one was probably mislabelled. It was totally all golden like the golden buds of Simao and stuff like that. it was super tasty. :) And I now have some of this coming from YS to try out. LOL
