The dry leaves have an aroma of fragrant wood and pepper.
The amber liquor has a sweet aroma with notes of fruit, honey, and sweet pea flower. The taste is sweet with light notes of fruit and honey, as well as slightly savory rice-like notes and a long honey-sweet finish.
This is the second time I've broken into this cake and it does seem to have developed a bolder aroma and flavor over the past couple years. I was somewhat reminded of honey-glazed baked pears. The results while prepared using a cupping set with a base 3 grams of leaf were very nice throughout three infusions. Preparing gongfu-style with a small brewing vessel and more leaf will increase the number of flavorful infusions. Phoenix Tea had a limited number of these cakes available which I believe are currently sold out.
This tea was received as a gift from a third party.
