A White Antlers tea, many thanks!
I wanted to pass this one around so I kept enough for only two western sessions. My experience, albeit limited, says Black Lily begs to be leafed heavy. The long and wiry dry leaf doesn’t exactly conform to spoon measurement.
My best cup of the two was 1g:75mL western. Aroma like raspberries and other berries, orchid, apricot, orange. Smooth and tangy, mineral and very clean, elusively creamy and thick. The flavors were difficult to pin but the main notes I picked up were apple, delicate honey, soft sweet cinnamon maybe allspice?, oats, berries, raisins, wood and orchid, apricot-orange tone, and a brown sugar returning sweetness. Finished bright and clean.
A fantastic profile for autumn that I think would appeal to all seasons of sippers looking for such.

I look forward to this one! Looks pretty much cool!
I’m not sure if this is coming your way. I sent 6 packages of tea out and didn’t keep track of who I sent what. Hope you’re not disappointed if this isn’t in yours.
Your tasting note is making me look forward to trying the sample of this you gave me—as if I wasn’t already! :)
Well now I know you got some of it and I hope you enjoy what White Antlers passed on to me.
derk: I certainly won’t be :) what you sent, is what you sent… There will be other enjoyable teas for sure!
