Overview
Best pick • solid black choice from Unknown origin
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Well twisted, ebony brown leaves and a complement of silver buds yield a dark, satisfying infusion with a sweet aroma. Notes of honey and malt round out the bright, toasty cup, which could accommodate milk, if desired. A pleasant briskness lingers in the light fruity finish.
