2024 Special Grade benchmark. Liquor darkened toward the dark-roasted sample. Considered potentially suitable for Indonesian-style iced tea with sugar. Its slightly larger porcelain gaiwan was a confounder. The user described stock as nearly depleted, while the inventory quantity is materially higher and needs verification.
Dry aroma: Floral
Taste: Floral and grassy; sharpest of the three
Finish: Astringency became very noticeable when fully cooled, but was neither annoying nor drying
