Temperature: 208° F
The dry leaves have an aroma of pine wood, barley, hay, molasses, and something that reminds me of a savory broth.
The copper red infusion has an aroma that reminds me of baked peaches, squash, and honey with a hint of citrus. The flavor is mildly astringent with a dry fruity finish.
This tea reminds me of mid-grown black teas from India or Sri Lanka. It's astringent, but not so much that it requires milk to enjoy. The aroma changes on a second and third steeping, becoming quite floral. While this tea is at its best on the first steeping, I enjoyed the third steeping because the astringency had mellowed significantly while the flavor had not become flat.
This tea was purchased by me.
