2023 Nio advent teas.
Breaking my new teapot in with this one. Dry aroma of sweet grass, some sweet corn still fresh not cooked, a bit of stone fruit, slight grass,
Nice yellow-green liquor color.
Great flavor. Butter. Grass. Sweetgrass. Need to really be careful of steeping time with this one. The astringency sneaks up quickly.
2022. A sample. Sweetgrass and steamed asparagus in the infusing leaves. The mouth feel is smooth with a hit of astringency. This also steeps cold in a wonderful fashion.
