Have sampled this tea twice now. The most enduring quality of this tea is certainly the pleasant, dampening buzz, it must have a high amount of theanine. The aromas and flavors are a little more confused and muddled, but overall it’s a thick-bodied tea with lots of strength. Rinsed leaves smell potent and the first few steeps give graininess, phytochemicals, and minerals. Moderate astringency and bitterness. I see this tea having good aging potential. I’d give it a higher score if the soup was a bit sweeter and if the flavor profile was more distinct.
