Very clean shou, I even took a sip of the rinse and it was perfectly drinkable. Tastes of petrichor, mineral, decaying wood, and leather with a little bit of cocoa. Not super complex, but tasty and super clean. Also it got me feeling tea drunk which is unusual for a shou.

petrichor?
It’s a word for the smell after it rains
i didn’t know there was such a word. I’d say it’s an apt descriptor.
I am so glad you used this descriptor (petrichor), @tperez! I have wanted to use a word for that scent with a number of teas and never knew there was a word for it! I always resorted to using “wet stone” as a descriptor, which is similar to petrichor, but not exactly it. I am going to have to remember to use petrichor when appropriate!
