Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Marked by notes of stone-fruits along with toasted nutty and gentle musky undertones

Appearance

Orange Amber

Taste

A medium-bodied, well-rounded, and pleasantly supple cup that opens with delightful stone-fruity notes; reminiscent of caramelized apricots, gradually evolving into a captivating medley of flavors.

As you sip, toasted nutty nuances and gentle musky accents emerge mid-palate, adding vibrancy to the liquor. Subtle hints of warming spices and a whisper of cocoa along the edges create an intriguing texture, gracefully fading into a lingering musky-fruity finish. This tea beautifully reflects the unique terroir of Seeyok, offering a nuanced and deeply comforting experience.
