Tasting Notes
An earthy patchouli forest aroma entwined with the scent of rosewater essential oil to create a soothing and relaxing aromatherapy-like atmosphere. When tasted it was almost a rude awakening with plenty of smoke, like burning lemon balm leaves or blowtorched caramelised orange and grapefruit halves topped with demerara sugar. Following the addition of water, we brewed a black tea with warm cinnamon, pungent cloves and dried blood orange peel while warming up a smoked, sweet-cured venison sausage. The texture on the palate was incredible – Thai coconut sauce with lime juice, ginger, garlic and sweet chilli peppers or mussels in creamy smoked eel and white wine broth.
