Savory Campfire in a Garage.
Leather, resin - resembling engine oil, smoke, musk, burnt wood - overall a quite unusual scent to me
Velvety mouthfeel with low bitterness and a soft, oily sweetness. Dominant notes of leather(!), burnt, and resin lend a rustic, workshop-like character—reminiscent of a mechanic’s garage, engine oil, or even something medicinal. A gentle caramel-like brown sugar sweetness adds roundness and depth, giving the tea a full, almost thick body with a mouthwatering effect. Later steeps introduce subtle hints of dried fruit, light zest, and a mild tanginess on the back of the tongue, adding complexity and a refreshing edge. Overall mellow and soft, with savory taste and barely bitter notes.
Rustic, old school, grounding, with a calming maturity.
3.5 Feels mature, not in a single spot but expanding the body.
