Small session after lunch, although probably longer than I intended. This tea is very interesting and has the usual complexities of rock tea. As usual, I love the smoky flavor and how that recedes to bring out something… more
Beautiful tea. Like how it starts off lightly smoky and begins to turn sweet as the infusions progress.
