A gentle but slightly punchy tea for this beautiful and quiet morning. The twisted leaf is a dark chocolate color. It bathes in a brittle desert wood aroma. Strangekess occurs with the wet aroma as marine notes mingle worh compost and deep woods. Not fishy like a pu er but a pure marine aroma, almost as if standing by the ocean. Though the ocean I refer to is the Northwest, such as Washington or Oregon. The ocean smells different in different places. A woodsy orchestra of flavor. Twigs, wet branches, slight compost, wet forest floor, and a mix of other boards of wood. The mouth feel is soft with a bit of astringency. Good morning.
