I love how mineral-rich and roasty this tea tasted. That very iconic flavour of “licking a rock” was probably the boldest and more forward flavour of this session but it was supported by heavy notes of char, dark roast coffee, barley, and toasted walnuts and pecans, with a pleasantly light astringency that made me think a lot of eating walnuts straight from the shell around the holidays. Y’know, Nutcracker vibes. Very smooth in the finish, with a lingering dance of spice on the back of the palate.
