Tengumai Junmai Yamahai "Dance of the Demon"

Rich and brothy. Delicious room temp, lightly warmed, all the way up to tea-hot. I love it at soup temp: around 120F. Tastes like melted butter, warm nourishing broth, morel mushrooms, miso, sweet soy glaze, British toffee, wet straw, apple rings and Good Earth tea. Earthy and comforting with a bit of tangy spice (allspice? clove? black pepper?), acidity and smoky mineral texture carrying the finish. Like the very best warm chai of my dreams.
