Gongfu!
Definitely the nicest wakocha I’ve tried, and for sure in the top five Japanese black teas. Maybe even top three. Medium to full-bodied with a syrupy aroma of cherry blossoms, marzipan, and poppy macarons like I buy for the Jean Talon market here in the summer. The taste is pretty sweet too with a pleasant split between nuttier notes of almond and pecans alongside notes of sakura, poppy, and darkly sweet honey. The undertones are rich, slightly spicy and just a bit woody – making me think of the almost red brown colour of mahogany, which the liquor itself it reminiscent of too! Such a beautiful tea experience!
