I’m sure some people like this sort of tea, but it does not fit my palette.
The flavor of this tea reminds me of over-ripe fruit, herbal medicine, and that wet-storage note that is common in these sorts of teas.
It’s densely compressed and brews slowly.
Not my favorite tea.
Flavor notes: Herbal medicine, over-ripe fruit, damp basement, wood, and flowers.
