The aroma of the steeped tea is herbal and inviting, recalling rosemary and sage. The initial seconds of the first sip are sharp and perfume-like, which quickly melts into a warm fruitiness—dried mangoes and apricots dominating the palate. Subsequent steeps mellow out the intensity, while drawing out new flavors. Baking...
