Time of day preferred: unsure, likely evening.
Taste:
first notes: floral from the lavender, slight woodiess, followed by an odd tang…then slight sourness
As it cools? Notes mellow a bit, tea gets dustier.
Additives used (milk, honey, sugar etc)? No.
Lingers? Yes, both the sour/tangy quality, and the lavender stay, but the floral fades quickly.
Somehow lavender and puerh doesn’t sound good to me.
