Another sealed bag from White Antlers :)
September 2015 harvest had grandpa. Dry leaf smells like floral perfume. A deeper sniffing reveals candylike melon and a pleasant, clean animal fur. I don’t remember the liquor aroma. Has the silver needle velvety thick mouthfeel with a dominant honeysuckle-nectar-straw-smoke taste and a background melon that becomes stronger in the aftertaste. Grandpa may not be the best method for this tea since it can get bitter. Pretty enjoyable and I’ll try the next round western style.
