Reviews & Ratings
The tea looks older than its age. The first infusion also looks and tastes older than its age. The second infusion is stronger and probably reflects the true taste of the tea. The infusion is golden in colour, fairly bitter with sweet ater-taste. The aroma is mildly smokey and nutty.
