The last remnant of this sample was hiding in the cupboard and was enjoyed together with my partner at the front porch. Its one of my favourite teas, flavourwise: there’s something I really love, though I’m never sure if it comes from the storage or the leaves themselves. It has a distinct barnyard note, clean and dry like an old cellar, with a pronounced nuttiness reminiscent of roasted buckwheat, barley, or tsampa. There’s also a hint of caramel sweetness underneath. At times, it carries the breezy scent you might catch walking past a donkey or horse stable—earthy and familiar. In the aftertaste, a soft floral note lingers — reminds of jasmine.

Overall, it just has this nice “Tea taste” which is hard to put in words. Energy is not outstanding but very nice to enjoy for sure!
