The smell of this tea is very pleasant, mostly displaying charcoal, chocolate and sugarcane.
The taste is fairly savoury and mineral with medium astringency. It is reminiscent of roasted nuts, chocolate, wet rocks and I found some hints of sea food (mussels in particular). The tea has light to medium body and drying, slightly powdery mouthfeel with medium viscosity. When brewed strong, it has some bitterness, which surprisingly doesn’t really appeal to me.
I also found that the taste improves a bit as the tea cools down. In particular, it becomes a bit more refreshing.
I really like the aftertaste though. It lasts long and changes over time, becoming more sweet and spicy, with the chocolate notes still present.
