one of the best autumnals Review by Christian, Mexico
This is one of the best autumnals I’ve ever had. A fine discovery for me since this is my first contact with this garden. The dominant note on the nose and the mouth is chocolate. Is not a hint of chocolate but an intense chocolate note. It reminds me a lot to some black teas from China, like Yunnan Gold or Bai Lin. Infusion is light bodied, one would expect a heavy tea but it goes swiftly through the palate, playfully, leaving a complex and pleasant aftertaste. I have no doubt it is one of the season’s jewels.
