This tea has the flavor of a very light sesame oil. The taste is extremely clear, but subtle. Amber colored liquor, fairly fragmented leaves.
Brewed gong fu style with about 3.5 grams of leaf in about 100 ml of water at 80C/176F. I found the texture to be quite smooth on the 2nd and 3rd infusions. Wasn’t able to get any more flavor out of the leaves after that. I could see this making a decent iced tea. Nothing to write home about, however.

Flavors: Nutty
