The main floral aroma is honeysuckles, not so much the heady summery aroma of honeysuckles but the late spring early bloom where the flowers are just starting to open their petals. Hiding beneath the freshly blooming honeysuckles are notes of sweet honey and a touch of rose.
I was able to get four steeps using Western methods and had quite the adventure with this tea. It starts sweet and mellow with notes of hay and honey and transitions to heady floral and then to mineral and vegetal. This tea is delicious and one of my favorite from Yezi
