The dry leaves have a woody and floral aroma with notes of honey and nuts shells.
The orange amber infusion has an aroma of honey, baked fruit, and cooked string beans with a taste that is toasty with notes of honey and light astringency.
The first infusion produced the best results with a pleasantly toasty sweetness that becomes much fainter in further infusions.
