The dry leaves have an roasted smoky aroma with notes of rye and fragrant wood.
The honey gold infusion has an aroma that is roasted, smoky, spicy and sweet with hints of baked fruit. The taste is roasty with a faint hint of honey and a light fruit and long floral finish.
The liquor in the second infusion was darker and the taste picked up a mild astringency that mellowed out by a third infusion. The dry leaves triggered an aromatic memory of antique wood cabinets with the rich perfume-like fragrance that develops with age.
This tea was purchased by me.
