Tea that I’ve fallen in love with from the first cup. Aroma of this tea is dominated by antique wood that makes it seem much older than it really is. Closely followed by taste that also would suggest that this tea was made perhaps even an decade earlier, with notes of delicate wood, vanilla, honey, fine tobacco, dried flowers and fruit. Liquor is smooth and thick with moderate sweetness and a touch of bitterness that instantly dissolves into returning sweetness and adds to the structure of the liquor. 

Energy of this tea is from lack of better words, happy and comforting. Drinking it made me really happy and content, completely relaxed and carefree. 

Cake is pressed with care, removing layers and then separating them with smaller bits was easy.
