Very sweet umami that reminds me of some tropical fruits, with a bit of grainy notes. From the second steep, a conforming seaweed taste dominates with vegetal aftertaste. Decent and balanced. Note that, this tea definitely needs higher temperature water from steep-to-steep.

This tea is on the expensive side so I don't drink it often, but wow it sure is complex. In terms of oxidizing it's balanced comfortably in the middle of a red and a green, with depth and freshness balanced. Due to the charcoal roasting the smoke note lingers in the background and make the caffeine level just right so that it can be enjoyed at any time of day. Ideally suited to afternoon and evening as you will not be kept up. I wouldn't go pairing this with anything so you can really taste all the complexity. Also this goes for steep after steep so you either need to be a prolific tea drinker or get ready to share.
