(2022 harvest) There is a really vivid, delicious rendition of oatmeal porridge, cinnamon on nose. Needs to be brewed sensitively though – on my first try there was something a bit phenolic and plasticy (the charcoal/roast?). Palate is so smooth though. Second try with less concentration of leaves to water and that distracting phenolic/rubbery note had faded back a bit, letting the tea’s more savory elements shine. Upgraded from 87 to 90
