A follow-up note after finishing the remaining 2.5g.

I’m thinking the floral might be sunflower – that seems to go along with the light nuttiness in aroma and taste. And damn does the bottom of the cup smell so good and sweet, like caramelized brown sugar, floral and squash. The floral aftertaste really fills the mouth. Noticeable cooling in throat after the warm feeling subsides. Toward the end, there’s a sweetness emanating from the throat. I can see the teeny tiny golden buds, or melon seeds, emerging between the two-leaf set. This is top notch tea. Would be a 100 for me if there were more evolution of flavor. Bumped up the rating a little.

This reminds me of a warm fall day at the family farm in Ohio.
