Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Lifted note of Mirabelle plum along with hints of cedar and nutty accents
Appearance
Bright Amber
Taste
A full-bodied, lively cup which feels ample on your palate and delivers a robust yet refined muscatel flavor.

Delightful note of nectarines can be perceived right at the start which gradually evolves to reveal a heart resonating with warm nutty acccents, evocative of hazelnut along with lighter tones of cedar, rendering a distinct texture to the liquor.

You can discern light zesty accents along the edges which however gradually ebb to finish on distinct tart-fruity undertones akin to Mirabelle plum; making for a clean, refreshing finish. There's this subtle musky sweetness which lingers pleasantly and invites for another sip. A must try this Summer!
