There’s obviously a heavy roast on this tea.

A noticeable floral aroma swirls around the palette, while classic roasted notes portray images of autumn.

Quite smooth in flavor.

Notes of charred stone-fruit and minerality developing later on.

Flavor notes: Autumn leaves, wheat, orchid, charred fig, char, cocoa, and minerals.
