The dry leaf aroma is almost non-existent, but once you start steeping… wow. It hits you with this very expansive fruity and floral mix that’s unlike anything I have ever smelled. I just can’t get enough of the wet leaf smell.

I would actually recommend to drink the first infusion already and skip the wash. It is lighter and more viscous, but delicious from the get go.

Progressively, the infusions become thicker and more “nectar” like with silky texture, great fruitiness and some sweetness. The taste is very balanced though, with pleasant sourness and very mild astringency that’s almost unnoticeable.

If you like fruity teas, then you really shouldn’t pass on this one, it’s a treat.

I loved the spring version of this tea, so I’m not surprised the winter one is equally as good.

Bio

Currently, I am a PhD student at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds.

I have been a fan of green tea for a while and only recently (in 2017) started exploring other kinds of tea in greater depth. I rarely drink blends or white tea and avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied. The one thing that I am currently missing in my collection are teas from India, in particular some Darjeelings.
