This is the first tea I saw on instragram for Artemis, and wanted to try it, and I finally got some. HEAVY on the berry in smell and profile with a like of the cocoa like dark chocolate in the dry leaf, and the same goes in the brewed flavor western. The yunnan teas are a bit faded in the background in the first cup I made because the berries and wine skins dominate. The second cub (heehhehe get it? This was a typo that I decided to keep, ’cause ursa, ’cause “cup”) I rebrewed western had much more of the Yunnan Black with a smooth profile blending into the cocoa nicely with a little bit of chocolate tannin in the aftertaste despite being on the way lighter side of tea.
This one is like Byzantium’s older berrier sister. It was what I hoped for, and I really didn’t need 60 grams of it, but it’s a very good tea I don’t mind having around with all the others. No ratings yet, just enjoying it for the different take on a berry blend. To think of it, this tea reminds me of the Icewine flavored teas I used to get from Canada…
