Tasting Notes
Brown sugar sweetness. Juicy - almost oolong style at first. Mouthfeel is light and texture more on the watery side. Woody undertones with some medicinal (artemisia) bitterness. some herbal/mineral notes on the back of the palate. Overall very nice mix, - the sweetness countered with the herbal vermouth flavour makes for a nice body (in this otherwise light tea).
