The dry leaves have an aroma of brown sugar and sweet hay.
The infusion is red with a sweet aroma of honey and dates. I also picked up a hint of something fruity like apricots. The flavor reminds me of burnt sugar and walnuts with a dry finish.
I was quite impressed with the sweet, heady aroma of the dry and infused leaves and the finish was mouthwatering.
Tasting suggestion: I was inspired by the aroma and enjoyed a cup of this tea with a handful of chopped dates with delicious results.
This was tea was provided as part of a workshop.
