Gongfu!
This was a very early morning session before commuting in to the office for the day. Though this tea is a tiny bit more coarse and astringent than I would normally lean towards, it has much of the same tasting notes I enjoy and would expect for this style: slightly creamy cucumber pulp, hot summer hay, and undertones of peach skins. However, the midway point of the session also had elements of aromatic rosey florals and the top notes reminded me of the smell of slightly decaying Autumnal leaves the morning after the first proper winter frost. It was a pretty calm and contemplative tea to start my morning with, while also having a slight seasonal disconnect in the memories that were elicited…
