Possible Spoilers for Liquid Proust’s Mystery Group Buy
I drank the first of my mystery teas – the one labeled #3. Not a big shou fan, but I think this one was pretty good. Leaves had a woody camphor aroma, but I didn’t get camphor too much in the flavor. A bit of mouth cooling during the first couple steeps, but not too much. Later it started developing a nice earthy sweetness. I also kind of got some vanilla notes, and one of the mid-steeps gave me a coffee vibe for some reason. It was decently thick, but also died out rather quickly.
I think I can safely say this isn’t the 2015 fake GNWL, not because I know what a real one tastes like, but because this doesn’t taste wet enough to have been piled just last year. Not sure which of the other two it could be yet though.
Flavors: Camphor, Sweet, Thick, Vanilla, Wood
