The dry leaves have a dark and savory aroma with notes of dried wood, dark bread crust, and salt.
The amber liquor has a savory aroma of dried mushrooms and wood. The taste is rich and earthy with notes of mushroom, wood, and minerals.
While this was enjoyable when prepared with a cupping set, it really shines when prepared gongfu-style with more leaf in a smaller brewing vessel. The liquor color became coppery-orange by the second infusion and I particularly enjoyed how the flavor and aroma developed more shiitake mushrooms and dashi broth-like notes.
This tea was received as a gift from a third party.
