Often times while drinking a new tea I like to have a session where I won’t read the companies description of flavor and aroma to avoid the influence.
But this one has been stumping me.
Sweet potatoes. Not a yam, do not confuse the two as many stores do. They are quite different.
Anyway, the dry aroma is very slight. Somewhat fruity, kinda creamy. Wet aroma reminded me of buttered noodles a few times but more often it is vegetal. And then the mysterious flavor of sweet potatoes in the golden liquid. It’s smooth on the tongue. Creamy but also has unique woodsy accents.
Mahogany maybe?
