TASTE NOTES
This tea presents a sweet-and-sour character with a deep, dark amber liquor. A balanced, highly oxidized black tea base unfolds with bright, lemon-like citrus sweetness, followed by a subtle peppery edge. The interplay of tanginess and spice evokes a distinctive tomato-soup nuance—savory yet gently sweet—carried by a high-toned citrus acidity.
The finish is soft and lingering, revealing notes of sweet dried fruits and a cotton-candy–like melt. A mild, silky mouthfeel slowly seeps across the palate before swallowing. Overall, it is a comforting yet elegant tea, defined by warm, rounded sweetness and an intriguing depth.
