Savory, burnt, medicinal.
Leather, resin, medicinal - resembling engine oil, smoke, musk, burnt wood - overall quite unusual (but intriguing) to me
Velvety mouthfeel with gentle bitterness and a soft, oily thickness. Starts with a taste explosion of notes of leather(!), burnt, and resin, which 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 strong leathery, medicinal taste with a savory thick body and enjoyable bitterness.
Rustic, old school, grounding, with a calming maturity.
3.5 Feels mature, not in a single spot but expanding the body.
Quite a unique taste profile, comes close like medicinal engine oil;) I recommend trying it!
