This 100-gram, moderately compressed tea cake consists of large, reddish-brown leaves, along with golden stems and buds. The dry tea has a calm aroma, featuring notes of spice and fermentation. When warmed, the fragrance shifts toward spice and caramel, with a hint of plum jam.
The infusion is vibrant and full-bodied, displaying a caramel-cognac hue and an aroma of camphor, cinnamon, and vanilla, underscored by woody notes. The taste is rich, dense, and viscous—a blend of wood and spice, accented by the sweetness typical of oolong and the balsamic quality characteristic of pu-erh. One can detect notes of lingonberry, vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, cookies, dry wood, and pickled apples. It leaves a lingering, spicy aftertaste.
A vibrant and powerful tea that provides a boost of energy and inspiration.
Perfect for brewing in a thermos.
