Dragon's Breath Oolong
The dry tea smells of licorice with wisps of smoke that make me think of lump charcoal on top of a deep roasted note. The brewed tea is lightly herbal with toasted grain (makes me think of puffed wheat or toasted rice), mellow licorice, and the barest wisp of charcoal char. The is a honey-like sweetness after the sip and absolutely no bitterness. It's a very gentle and comforting tea. It makes me want to sip it while bundled up in a warm blanket in front of a crackling fire on a cold winter’s morning. Additional infusions shift away from the herbal, licorice notes, and sweetness to a drier tea with charcoal and spices as the predominate note supported by a dry toasted grain.
