Sooooo, what's it like? I'm reading all these accolades but no descriptive qualities. Ramp up the verbosity gentlemen!
Working on it...still only seven bowls into a tin though, like to get to at least ten before I consider reviewing a blend! But...in a nutshell...
Tin note is amazing, no ketchup, but rather fruits and cider with an underlying smokyness.
Flavour, while underpinned by a savory smokyness, highlights the sweetness of the McClellands Va leaf, with the underlying herbal notes of the Oriental leaf coming through. As the bowl progresses, the perfumey Syrian Lat takes on a flavour not unlike tea-leaves.
All in all, tasty stuff - very complex and subtle blend.
How's that for a ten-second blurb?
